That Geforce2 will really limit your performance in games...

I would start saving your money for the Geforce4 Ti200 (should be <$200) that will debut in two months.

I would say you should get decent performance in those games at 1024x768. You are still WAY ahead of minimum specs! I always found the TBirds to get much more benefit from extra FSB than from clock speed. Find out if your CPU is unlocked, and raise the FSB. A little more memory would definitely help - 256MB is a good minimum these days.

Try and change the multiplier and see if it works...

Can that be done in the Bios?,,

I can't recall if it can or not on that particular motherboard but have a look. Set it to something like 9x133 and if you boot up at 1200Mhz you'll know it's unlocked. Otherwise their might be jumpers to adjust the multiplier, have a look in the manual.

If you find out that it is not unlocked and you want to unlock, you would want to do what is known as the "pencil trick." Do a search on google for "pencil trick" and you will find detailed instructions on performing the unlocking.

Up the FSB to 150mhz. Your GF2 Ti card is fast. almost as fast as GF2 Ultra! Will do pretty good for gaming for now. Watch how it screams at 150mhz FSB, hehehehe..
