Dark...wtf are you smokin' man. My PC can't handle nothin'.
Whenever I try to play any of the source games.....it's lagg city for me. ON LOWEST SETTINGS!!!!!
You must either have a better Gfx Card, a better processer, or better RAM. More than likly it's the Gfx card though. Seeing as I can't play BF2 at all.....won't even start up. But my firend who has the card 1 better than mine on the ladder of Gfx cards, it runs fine on his.
So lets hear it Dark. Lets hear your specs.

Edited, see below for my specs

Is there an easier way to figure out my specs other than knowing them or having to look them up in the device manager? Like some program that does it for you?

if you use the run command from the start menu and type in "dxdiag" you can use the directx diagnostic program to get your system info. theres a button toward the bottom right that says Save All Information, it saves a text file that looks like this:

Maybe someday she will grace the pages of playboy. Until then we will have to settle for tight outfits. :D

See dark, I knew you had a 9600, I have a 9200.
The 9550 is the minimum ATI card that can run BF2.
Trust me, I've ran trials. You also have about .4 more Ghz than I do, and about 256 MBs of more RAM than I. w/ that I could run all source games and such.

I used to run all my games on my 16 MB card. It was only when I got Half Life 2 that I needed to upgrade

Don't knock your systems, til you see mine currently, seriously. :oops: :roll: :shock: :(

However, Quake 4 is playable enough that I completed single player, and HL2 and CS:S play pretty well too.
