Sounds like the CPU. If the Video is lacking T&L, the CPU becomes crucial, and one above 1.4 Ghz is needed.

oops I didn't even thoughtt about the .cfg

I found a way to get a good framerate..  just looking at the floor
shame on the CPU, it sucks at doing all the geometry in software
on this PC mohaa is well playable but some places run choppy ..
the demo starts on a place worse (complexity wise) than everything you can see in mohaa


BTW here is an extract of the .cfg (r_ variables only)
(do you mind if I eat some KB on your server? )

if you don't want to waste your time, don't bother reading it

if you do.. congratulations, you're a nerd

this is the demo's cfg with all detail turned down in the demo
I set cg_drawfps to 1 and tweaked it a bit (fastsky 1 , LOD bias 0, detailed textured 0..)
doesn't change much : I'm getting 4 fps in the beginning,  2 fps during the airstrike, and 10 to 20 fps in some places where there's not much on the screen    (up to 30fps, looking at the ground ).  (FSAA 2X enabled ; no better if I disable it)

I feel like I'm playing doom3's leaked alpha
it looks nice anyway

Well I just tried to run it on my old p3-500 with voodoo 3 2000 and it doesnt seem to work. I realize that all my parts are below min. system requirements. Downloaded amigamerlin and the mesa5.1. No luck. Here is the message.

Could not load OpenGL.  Make sure that you have the latest drivers for your video card from the manufacturer's web site.

i keep on getting the open gl notice when i try to play the game.  i downloaded the mezafx 0.51 driver..followed the directions..it still doesn't work.  is there anything i can do??
thanks

I have windows xp..i think an invidia video card..not too sure on that...i thought it was 32 mb...but might be only 16.
thanks

Which file do I need to modify? A config for COD? I have the full version. Thinking about biting the bullet and buying a new card for the old computer. Any recommendations for a card that will work with the 2x agp and support dx9.
