Hi,
I have (bought it 3 years ago):
Celeron 2600 MHz
1024 MB RAM
Radeon 9600 SE
- normally 76 on maps like braundorf, but not stable + falling at some more spaced places and where there's much shooting, arty, smoke, etc.
- on grush about 40-50 and even lower in many places,
- 30-40 on radar without grass ofc, and ofc falling down when im turning to some directions^^
I recently read somewhere a post of Overdrive if im correct, that ET is mainly about CPU. So what you suggest to upgrade from these three (having limited amount of cash...)?

btw i got nice cfg for fps boost^^
even if you can overclock them twice, it wouldnt matter shit.
celeron, sempron, all the cheap breeds of processors you should try to stay away from.
If you are going for an upgrade you will have to buy a new:
mobo
cpu (dual cores should drop heavily in price next months, already seen quads but they are really expensive atm)
ram chips (2x512MB DDR2)
PSU (think you will need 350W at least, check ur old power supply unit but I'm guessing you'll need to upgrade)
Vidcard (any nvidia cheap card will do the trick in ET)
I recently rebuild an Athlon XP to and Atlhon AM2, costed about 350€ for:
50€ ram
80€ HDD sata
150€ CPU
60 € mobo
60 € vid card
reused dvd, cdrom, case, psu, keyboard, mouse, soundblaster, screen
you could use your old hd, most new mobo still have ata connections, but you might aswell buy a small SATA as using such a slow hd on such a fast computer wil lbecome a bottleneck.
Ram, you could should buy in pairs for optimal performance. 2x512MB should be fine for ET, but maybe you want to buy 1x1024MB and upgrade later with another 1x1024. Same with vid card, you might want to save a lot of money there and upgrade when you need more horsepower for ET:QW or any other game you plan on playing. Using only 1x1024 wil lnot affect your ingame FPS. It will affect loading times etc.
but you are talking about 400 euro like something rly cheap :) I can spend 400... but zl :) that means 400eur/4 :P Well, pentium4 seems to be the best option. im only playing et, other games bore me, not gonna play qw. ill prolly play wolf2 :)
i got 2x256 + 256 + 256 RAM, yeah that slows me down but its still okay with ram, everything is quite fast. i wasnt sure about vid card though.
thanks
koop geen celeron
koop geen celeron
enzovoort, lol toch blij dat ik dat niet heb gedaan XD
dan bedoel ik ermee dat je moet kiezen tussen een ander merk en een celeron welke zou je kiezen en waarom
