Oh why's the Radeon 8500 got to be AGP...

Hah, I was messing around thig morning and decided to stick Need For Speed Most Wanted on my old Tester system(listed below) It took a while to get going, but once it was into the game I adusted the graphics settings. Basically, I set it to one tic below the max settings using the "basic" quality tool and 640x480. Most of the settings were lower according to the advanced settings, but antialiasing was enabled. Would you beleive it ran smoother on that old PIII than my Athlon. Hah, well I guess you guys would seeing my GPU

Oh well, not a question or anything, just thought it was kind of funny Plus, it proves a point. You don't always need a killer CPU to run games worth anything I wonder how a 7800GS would work in this old PIII OH, and I beleive it's AGP is only 2x! I'll have to check that...

Yeah that happened to me too, My friend has an old Celeron 1.1ghz and a Radeon 9500, he played CNC Generals at high on all and 1024x768, my XP 2600+ was cutting out an laggy, i was using onboard (Unichrome, 64mbs)

Hehe, well the unichrome is total crap(I should know, my lappy has it) But you'd think the 6200 would be somewhat capable Oh well, I don't NEED anything better.
