now.... these RAM buggers.


Heres my set-up

Fufitsu Siemens SCALO T
Pentium 4 3.4 HT
250 GIG HD
DVD writer
Mutlticard reader
512 little RAM buggers
ATI X800 256 AGP card (updated from 9600)

It plays half life 2 ok, not on specatcular settings, but not bad..
I dont know what type of RAM my computer uses, and it's not documented on my manual.

but does RAM make that much of a difference? would an extra gig make it play games that much better??!


thanks!

It came with a 17in TFT
so resolutions 1280x960.


It does about a steady 40, maybe a little less in action scenes, setting off a big explosion kind of lags for a split second as it thinks though all the physics.

some of it's on high, I let it default my computer, tweeking it any more just seems to bring the FPS down again.

What frame rate are you getting and in what resolution and with what detail settings now?

That's possibly the most badly phrased question I've ever asked.

Half Life 2 should run more than "ok" on that setup as it is, surely.

more RAM would help, but to be honest I don't think you should be having any problems in 1280x1024 on High Detail settings.
