Ok... I'm worried a little about how I'm going to run Planetside. Before I give my system specs I'd like to talk about my fps in both battlefield 1942 and UT2003. In UT2003 the most fps I'm pulling is about 60 and it doesnt drop below 20 (20 is uncommon except with many many things happening) . In Battlefield it's sort of another story, for some odd reason I cannot get steady over 40 fps, Ill drop to 20 quite often and the game seems SOOO choppy. Which is odd because my bro runs it much smoother with about the same specs. I can pull about 9000 in 3dmark2001 and about 1100 in 3dmark 2003 which is also higher than my bros computer, my computer or vid card rather doesn't seem to like certain games. Anyways any input would be awesome! Heres my sys specs
K7s5a mobo with athlonXP 2100+
hercules 3d prophet 8500 128 mb card
640 mb sd133 ram
15gig hard drive (could upgrade this but wont suspect much diff)
Onboard sound (shouldnt lower fps)
One more thing to input, it seems I need a new power supply because my board is only reading as an athlon XP 1500+, if I set the board to 133/133 it'll read at 2100+ but will lockup or restart after I run a 3d game, or any game for that matter. I have reason to believe its a power issue as I'm only using a 250W PSU and my comp is quite cool at 43 degrees C after running a while. Hope you can help! thanks
