Hi guys, I would like you (yes, you) to try and give me 10 ways to get more from my measly
500mhz
processor without spending any money (yet). I do the virus software thing, but i recall something about Ctrl+Alt+Del to help.... None of these things must hurt a family computer, otherwise you might not see me much around here for a while!  Tongue
Last night I broke the port hand u/c leg off of a 747-400. My excuse is pulling between 4 and 8 fps!
Help me, i'm desperate! (lol)

P.s. Is there any other simmers with sub ghz processors? I thought not...

    You can pick up some speed by going to My Computer  open it   right clickin to Open Propertys  then  go to tab .....Performance   then  File system left click  then go to that panel in the box  and change it from a Deck Top PC  to    a Net work  server   click Ok  and apply  and you should pick UP some speed  and not Hurt a thing, its not  over clocking .

My #2 machine, recently upgraded to an FX5200 128MB, has chugging away at its core none other than a.......

667mhz


Processor!

Runs FS2K,FS2K2 & CFS2 Great! - CFS3 runs like a dog on this little beastie, the reason it became my #2 machine, as well documented by me, CFS3 still runs like a dog!  Roll Eyes  Sad

Its fully upto date, Win98se DX9 , 53.04 Detonator drivers, I close everything except Explorer & Systray before running games.

It even handles GTA Vice City, which ,as a minimum requirement, demands an 800mhz pIII !  8)


Don't give up on the old tub yet Dan!  Smiley

I like that a lot. I think it will stick! Crash - I was rather dubious at first, but I did it, and wow. I gained 5 - 7fps on cockpit view with no windows open. That makes it 20fps now, 11 - 14fps on virtual cockpit.
Many thanx, Dan Garner
