Sorry it's not going to run on an ATI XPERT 98 (aka Rage Pro) card. Only having 8 megs of texture memory is a show stopper. Even with enough texture memory it's hard to imagine it working well.

I called up my computer tech teacher and she doesn't even know what a GPU is, haha. I really want to get into skinning and stuff because we have to make our own projects for the class so I can make some skins for my grades. I think my class is called computer design...yea...I want to do that in college too.

What card do you have and how many megs of texture does it have?

I really don't think its worth getting another card for that computer. If you get a professional computer technician to put the card in (as laptops are a bitch to work on from what I know), they will probably charge more than the computer is worth.

I got kicked out of my brothers house where i had a really nice computer so i moved back in with my mom and got her piece of s**t laptop since she got a new one... /: no MX sim for me. :l


P.S. If I clean my room 110% my brother said that he would probably bring my computer over to my moms house but if he does that then my mom is going to update the crap out of it and add a bunch of parental control crap on it AND it looks look alike a bomb went off in my room, TWICE! :x

How old are you?

And it's not hard to just set a password, for your computer and not tell your mom. :/

Or if you can drive, leave it somewhere else (brothers).

i think it is the same problem that i get, only started happening recently, it wil run any track fine at around 90fps but then every 20 seconds or so it will slow right down to 10fps then back up again. this is not spec related i dont think as it happens equally on rabbit hill or washougal. It may be graphics drivers though as i had to roll back to older ones after the latest ones screwed my computer. :evil:

BUMP!

Not bring back a dead topic, but if people are having slow framerates, I would recommend using RivaTuner. It basically lets you overclock your GPU, as well as give you a lot of tweaking settings. I use it, and I see a huge increase in my framerate. Totally recommend it to everyone, even if you have a pretty good card.

Here's the link to the homepage: http://www.guru3d.com/index.php?page=rivatuner

You need to know how to update/uninstall drivers using the Device Manager
You need to know what video card you have (DUH!)

If you guys have questions about how to work with it, shoot me a PM
Or get me on MSN- skidmore.joe@hotmail.com
