welcome to 3D gaming, brother!

Now that your hooked, start saving all your pocket change in a jar, and in like 2 years, you'll have enough for a sweet new card. Repeat as necessary.

And use Amex blue for all tech purchases. It's a nice way around murphy's law that your brand new retail radeon 8500 will drop $90 seven days after you bought it. (hee-hee! that'll cool the wife down, too!)

OK thank you. Does anyone know where i can get the latest drivers for the G card? I looked at windrivers but they wanted me to pay $$$ before i could look around and see if they had them.
I am in level 5 in the ALIEN campain and level 4 in the predator campain. I am still in level 2 on the human. LOLOL
The first Unreal lookes awsome!!!!

I think the tnt 2 will use nvidia's detenators. Grab them here. Congratulations on your new card...I'd imagine that must be a big improvment. Don't let anybody rain on your parade for not having a $400 geforce 4 either, it makes a lot of sense to stay a step or two behind the bleeding edge.

$400 for a Nnidia Gforce 4 my butt! I can get 1 for $180 out of Menphis Tenn. That is like 200-300 miles from here and it would take about a day to ship it.
Besides i dont have agp slots so i cant use 1!

Yeah be very careful - if its a GeForce4 MX, then avoid it like the plague - it's slower than a GF3. If its a Titanium card, then buy one for everyone here and make 20 bux profit on all of 'em ;-)

i have a tnt2 m64 on a compaq 400mhz system running the latest detonator drivers from nvidia.. runs counter-strike pretty good.

edit: my memory may be bad, but i think the trident cards back when i had a intel 486/33dx (w00t!) pc was 1MB. it wasnt til i got my k6-233 with diamond viper v330 riva card that had 4MB. and i was like.. w0w! 4MB. what am i to do with all that video ram.. :p

I did not take it personal. I just think its kinda stupid to pay $400 when you can get 1 for $180.
