This is my rig:

AMD Athlon XP 2100+ Throughbred Core
640 MB PC133 RAM
30 GB WD HDD
ATI Radeon 7000 64MB DDR 4x AGP
17" Viewsonic Flat CRT @1024x768 95Hz

I seem to get an average FPS of 15-25 and I know I can get more, is there any tweakes I can do with my system to get a better FPS? I really don't want to buy a new video card becasue It is on the same level as a Geforce3 so I really think I should be able to get 50+ FPS. I just don't seem to know how to get the settings to let it go above 40. In the WOL game list screen I get about 40 FPS and that seems to be the best. Am I missing something, Thanks!

U have a better system than mine and you get less fps?!?! Thats wierd. I have a stupid PCI video card because of a retarded motherboard and I still get around 40 fps.

while playing... turn EVERYTHING OFF

MSN = OFF
ICQ = OFF
KaZaA = OFF
Outlook Express = OFF
eDonkey / eMule = OFF
IRC or other chats = OFF

Update ALL your drivers.

Expecially your Graphic Card drivers

----

Get DirectX 9.0a

----

If none helped: You could try to change your gamesettings to low or normal instead of HIGH...... That usually helps

Update all drivers, like he said. If you want max FPS get a Radeon 9800 with 256mb ram if you have the cash. Otherwise get a 9500 because it is cheap.

Goodbye and thanks for all the games Westwood!

i agree with the others kill some extra programs. also check and see if you or someon else has loaded other background programs.
goto: start / run : msconfig
then click the start up utillities look for programs u really dont need. make a note .
goto control panel and uninstall. if u want to keep them then open the specified program and set it to not start when the computer starts.

look see if you have any conflicks in the device manager.

also raise up your hz under the monitor settings.

i hope something here helps

getting a better video card would help since what you have is on par with a Geforce 2 it should be good enough to play but what you have will in no way give you high frame rates
