Upgraded a really old box to play BF2 perfectly at 1600*1200 all med. settings no AA

[Darksniper75]

Lol, I still had this old comp, AMD 1400, 512 MB SDRAM, and a Geforce 4000MX AGP in it. So, after thinking what to do with it. I started tuning the beast, lol. I needed a new GFX card for it: 6600GT AGP 256MB.

What I did:

- low level format of harddisk, disk is 7200 RPM ATA
- installed windows xp
- installed the tweaksrus G-Xtreme drivers
- overclocked the cpu to an 1800 XP (1.53 GHZ)

And guess what, it ****ing runs at 1600*1200 all medium at 40-50 fps. And that is with only 512 MB of mem

Think I need to laydown.

Happy though.

Cheers

Good job. Shows that you don't need to spend three grand/year to enjoy some goofing off time on the pc.

Ive got pretty much the exact same setup on one of my boxes.

Athlon 1600+
1 GB PC3200 DDR
Geforce 6600GT OC AGP8X

Runs fine at 1600x1200 all medium no AA.

Edit: Im not too familiar with th drivers you mentioned. Is it really worth it to install ?

Not really hard to believe. Here's an article that compares different processors, running with a good graphics card:
