1.5 Ghtz? Sorry, Planetside on that is gonna' be shittier than Ray Kroc's toilet.

To run consistantly playably, you want at least a gig of RAM.

I have a 512 stick, It works fine. I never get below 20fps. I also have a Ge-Force FX5200. It runs fine, too. Those two things and my AMD athalon give me nore than enough power to run PS. I don't have the flora textures up on it, but then I wouldn't if I had the best system in the US. It gets in the way of my scope when I snipe.

PS: Athalon > Pentium by far. Cheaper, and more powerful.

Compaq > Dell. Dell = shitty plastic crap that fries itself after six months so you haveto go buy another one.

Dont be so sure...1000Mhz (800Mhz stock but it's really easy to get it up there) FSB really kicks up proformance plus athlons run alot hotter
but they are awsome for their price, i give you that

1.5Ghz? from what i hear, in planetside that's "OMFG I HATE THIS GAME" profromance

Athalon>>>>>>>Pentium
can we say 64bit?

o...and on topic lol, ur processor doesnt seem to have as much of an impact on gameplay when compared to RAM.
if u have 1gb of ram, u could easily run PS on a comp wit 1.5ghz......ive done it lol full graphics

I believe you mean Athlon

They each have their uses

how do i get the speed up?

hex222 · 2004-07-07, 04:49 PM

i've forgotten what its called, but you have to tweak the CPU, it's rather complex, i'd just get a better, faster CPU...

Cauldron Borne · 2004-07-07, 05:23 PM

Over-Clocking? Yeah it can really hype up performance in a big way. Unless you do something wrong, then you just fry your system and watch as you flush 1000+ dollars worth of hardware down the toilet.

It isn't THAT complex, but if you don't know where everything is in your computer (i.e. 'what's the RAM look like?') then you could have a problem.

512 ram works fine, i have almost all details and stuff up to maximum and it`s running smoothly. though 1,5gigs isn`t exactly what u wanna have for playing multi player games online.
