see my system setup below, I got a 8 meg AGP card.
I bought Baldur's Gate II yesterday and tried it out. I noticed the intro. wasn't very smooth, but once I got into the game play. Things started to turn really really bad, bad graphics(3D), characters is moving like a grandpa, I would suspect much much worse from the fighting scenes, so I quit. What do you guys think? more MEM? get a better card(means a new monitor)?
 
You could try a Nvidia GeForc2 Mx, that would do well in games, for the price it is, or a ATi Radeon.

Why would you have to upgrade you monitor though?
 
Definitly upgrade your videocard. Also you must take in notice that most games (except guake3) are not smp aware. So basicly you are running these games on a PII 400.. 🙁
 
I got one of those freaking fixed frequency monitors, it only works for certain kinds of graphic card. The one I got is diablo with savage chip I think...
 
BG2 is for the most part is a 2d game. I think the only things in the game that use 3d are the lighting and the spell effects so I would think a Savage4 would be able to handle that fine. My roomate is using a PII 400, ati 8megger, and a v2 12megger and it seems to play just fine on his. I guess your 8meg card could be running out of ram doing double duty 2d and 3d I am just guessing there. Try turing off 3d acceration and see if it improves anything. Have you turned down the hardware settings in the configuration thing yet?
