I don't get it....Morrowind will work fine right after I start it after a reboot, but the more I play the more it runs like crap. I get pauses and it phases in and out of choppy slideshow performance after a while. My system is:
Athlon XP 1700+
ECS K7S5A Mainboard
512MB PC133
Onboard SiS AC97 Sound
Onboard Lan
ATI Radeon 8500LE 64MB
Realtek PCI NIC
Western Digital 40GB and 20GB 7200RPM ATA 100 hard disks
Running Windows XP Professional Service pack 1
I have tried substituting the 512MB of PC133 for 256MB of PC2100 DDR but it works better with the SDRAM, as it has to use the paging file less. I get about 7200 3D Marks in 3D Mark 2001SE with the PC133 and about 7500 with the DDR. I don't get it at all....Morrowind should run flawlessly with this hardware. Is it yet another example of game developers being in Nvidias pocket? I know this card can kick some ass....it runs UT2K3 at very acceptable framerates on Default settings, so Morrowind should be a slam dunk.....why isn't it?
