what are you using right now to play? And what can you afford?

OK , what kind speed cpu and video card are you using now. I was playing AO for a while and I currently am using 1ghz p3 with gforce 2 mx and it ran perfectly. lotta memory will help a ton.

Ack: i forgot to put the comp specs in:

MOBO Asus A7V266
CPU AMD 1.4 Athlon t-Bird
512 mb Micron PC2100
Sound Blaster Live
Video Card was thinking Hercule prophet 3d 64mb


If you need the drives.. i can drop them in as well

a 32 or 64 meg geforce2 card should be good enough.

 

[GuyGrim]

well, if that is all I need. It surely will help my wallet

GeForce 2 Pro 64 MB?
or
GeForce 2 MX400 64MB?

You have more than enough horsepower, although i don't really care for AMD cpu's and AO since the blue screen trouble they admited with win2k and athlons, but thats another story.your video options aren't a tough one, depepending on your cash.


32mg gf2 pro 120 or so
64mg gf2 pro 170 or so
gf2mx400 dirt cheap less then 100.

why buy a gf3 when you wont get any benefit at this time, gf3 mx's will be out soon regardless if nobody is talking about them, they will come out. you will be fine with any of the above cards for a while. good luck !!!

Get a 64mb Gainward GeForce2 Pro from newegg.com for about $150 and you'll be set to go. I ran AO on a p3 800, 512megs of PC133 SDRAM, and a 64mb MSI GeForce2 Pro and it was smooth sailing at 1024x768@32bbp with hardware T&L on and w-buffer on.
