aaarrrggghhhhh
Loads of good advice here...
BIG PC spec means nothing if PC is not upto PAR...
Try running Memory Managers..ie: Cacheman/RamIdle....
Real Speed is:
18" TFT
XP 2000 overclocked to 2.4
1 Gb of RAM
2 x IBM 60Gb 7200 - HDD
ATI Radeon ViVo 64RAM
Plat/Creative Labs
and the usual CDRW/DVD..etc....
it all means NOTHING if your PC is not sorted...run NOTHING, not a single prog runs on my PC till I tell it to...
Not wishing to preach...but get a second PC, me old one is..wait for this...2 x P1000 cpus, and 6 x 20Gb HDD, 19" Iiyama, Matrox, blah blah blah...if a game don't run on XP it will run on 98SE/ME.
Bottom line, Dual Boot, c:\ ME...d:\XP....email if you want more.
