The CPU speed is excellent for apps and games designed for single core processors and current Nova Logic games come under that heading.

The memory performance will depend on the Operating System.

Network ok.

Lose the Intel Graphics. You definitely need a 64 or 128 MB card here.

[Guest001]

Do you have an AGP 4x or AGP 8x graphics port on you Mother board?
you can use a 8x in a 4x slot but only runs at 4x
Nvidia TNT2 is a good card from those days

Post your Motherboard specs.

[Trooper]

yeah thats all stock not sure have not looked @ it yet as its a present , Ofcourse ima get a Nvidia card and pimp it up slowly.

[Trooper]

would it play dfx 2? or would i need to invest in a new gfx card or ...?

[Guest001]

Reckon you will be fine if you adjust the graphics settings, or you may not need to.


Delta Force Xtreme2

Minimum System Requirements :


Video Card: Direct3D video card with 64 MB or greater required

OS: Windows XP, VISTA (32 & 64 bit editions)

CPU: Pentium 4 Minimum CPU Required

RAM: 1 GB or greater required

Hard Drive: 2 GB available

Direct X: DirectX 9.0c or greater required


You get a lot for those specs compared to other shi*e games around, and so now you can see how good it really is.

NOTE:

However the Intel integrated graphics would be lucky to play DFLW and might play DF1.

I don't know if it supports D3d or DXirectX too well.

I used to own a GeForce FX 5600 which was awesome back then, you will have to check but I think it's the limit of what you can use and it's VERY good, in fact excellent!

[Trooper]

ah great thanks once again dude , will have to invest in a nvid again if i remember geforce is just another model from nvidia or w/e they called ?

[Guest001]

NVIDIA has ceased driver support for GeForce FX series. You don't have to worry about that, just get the latest drivers that were released and you will be fine.

[Trooper]

nice , then i can play your maps , right ? will be intresting

[Guest001]

They are getting better. I have been mapping for Multiplayer lately cause it's easier, I have quite a few that are not published yet and I could use some help going there and playing to get 2 opinions and make sure it works when there is more than 1 ssn10000

I did have a system like that some time ago. If you really want to play some of the new games and games like Xtreme, then i would suggest you to invest in a new motherboard but a cheap motherboard that has at least one PCI-e slot and then buy a new graphics card like ati 5450 0r 5470 or maybe from the 4xxx series. If you are interested in nvidia, then GTX420 or something like that. I myself have an intel 945 motherboard, it has one pci-e slot so I can fit a graphics card. You can also take motherboard based on the H55 chipset i think.

[Trooper]

Thank you for the good advice dude , u got a link for a good cheap motherboards ?

[Guest001]

Buy a new computer while you are at it for the same price!
