Oh, I think I'll be OK on that. It's an Athlon XP 2000+ or whatever. I asked about processors here before and based on the board's advice, I think I'll wait for cheaper Socket 939 motherboards. Might need more RAM inthe mean time, but that's cheap now too. I skimped on the videocard thinking I would be content with older games. (TNT2 Ultra seems ample for Total Annihilation, TIE and even Freespace)

nVidia releases the GeForce. It was good. They released the GeForce 2. It was also good, but expensive. They released a cutdown version called a GeForce 2 MX, for a cheaper price.
All that was okay. But then they released the GeForce 3, and GeForce 4, and realised that their budget card was rather out of date. So they released the GeForce 4 MX. Except that the GeForce 4 MX isn't a GeForce 4 at all. It's still a GeForce 2, albiet a faster one. People bought these cards. They thought that they had GeForce 4 cards. They were wrong. nVidia's money men laughed mightily. And then went home and watched some hentai.

It isn't as though I haven't met a lot of people. Goodness knows it isn't that. It isn't just that... it isn't... it's... it's despicable.

And there's all this shit about overclocking them which sounds vaguely dangerous and maybe slightly stupid. I am unknowing.

Innocence? Ignorance, more like. Enlighten me, us all really. Incidentally, weren't we gonna cross Krogoth at one point. I've still not figured out what my new broadband service will be, but would you still be sporting when that time comes.

Well, what specs are you running Total Annihilation at? 640 x 480? Minimum detail?
And if you don't know what you're doing, then don't overclock them. You don't need to.

The enlightenment will have to wait until such time as your new broadband service is figured out by you. But if your TNT2 has so far been ample for Total Annihilation, then you probably haven't been totally inducted into the 1600x1200-OMG-I'm-dating-myself-5000-unit-limit-8-way-multiplayer-hall-of-fame yet. This could be fun.
