It could be that the extra .2 on his processor could handle what mine couldn't but I doubt that as the factor. But the PCI-e type cards are also a lot faster than AGP which is what I currently use.


512 is that max speed your card can "talk" to the mobo.. but using an agp connection will limit you to 64.. in one direction at a time.. talk about a bottleneck.. your card cant even come close to reaching its potential...

a 6x mobile series wont do much better.. nothing integrated will... even laptops with beefy discrete cards only run well until they overheat..

to the original poster: although your pc specs sound a bit old.. spend 60$-80$ and drop a new graphics card in it and you will get another year or so out of it.. check out card reviews at http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/...tx,2270-2.html

running amd doesnt help either.. next time get an intel.. way more head room.. you can get an extra 10-20% by a slight voltage increase.
