Upgrade for N4

I currently have a p3 600@800, 256 pc133 ram, & prophet ddr geforce. i believe it is time to upgrade. cant decide on 1.2 ghz tbird or dual p3 866. anyone have any insight on how well n4 takes advantage of smp? i know it is supposed to support it but havent seen any benchmarks to know if it works. thanks, -- Brian Grrrr baby, very grrrrr

I have about the same setup but with an MX, I get 50+ fps at high resolution.

i can get 60-65 by myself, but in a race, me starting in back, all 42 cars drawn, my rate drops to about 20-22. -- Brian Grrrr baby, very grrrrr "Mike Grandy" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:uRXg6.4759$[email hidden]... > I have about the same setup but with an MX, I get 50+ fps at high > resolution. > > > "///M5Brian" <[email hidden]> wrote in message > news:Q%Wg6.3914$[email hidden]... > > I currently have a p3 600@800, 256 pc133 ram, & prophet ddr geforce. i > > believe it is time to upgrade. > > cant decide on 1.2 ghz tbird or dual p3 866. anyone have any insight on > how > > well n4 takes advantage of smp? i know it is supposed to support it but > > havent seen any benchmarks to know if it works. thanks, > > > > -- > > Brian > > Grrrr baby, very grrrrr > > > > > >

Same here. Athlon 800 @ 896 and a GeForce2 (Prophet-II 32 meg). I think N4 needs as much processor speed as it can get. Sal ///M5Brian <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:Cd%g6.4544$[email hidden]...

Can you two help me a little bit. I'm in search for a new vid card. Since you two have similar systems, can you post FPS number in some controlable condition for 1280x1024 resolution.

there is no 1280x1024, only 1280x960. here are my benchmarks 1280x960x16, car detail: high, world level: max, draw dist: max, mirror draw: 50%, cars drawn: 42, mirror level: high, track obj: all, steering wheel drawn OpenGL: practice: 35-40 back of pack: 16-20 D3D TnL practice: 40-45 back of pack: 18-25 Here is how i run since i play online 90% time. 1024x768x16, car detail: high, world level: max, draw dist: max, mirror draw: 50%, cars drawn: 25, mirror level: med, track obj: all, no steering wheel. D3D TnL practice: 58-63 back of pack: 28-35 -- Brian Grrrr baby, very grrrrr "Mario Petrinovic" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:9634ge$e7i9$[email hidden]... > Can you two help me a little bit. > I'm in search for a new vid card.
