just bought n2003 finally, in uk, through the 'game' website.. 12.50 pounds
delivered.. a bargain considering what can be done via these mods i'm
reading about.

system: was hot for when n4 came out, now isn't so hot.. thinking about a
quick fix by getting a new gfx card

1.4ghz Ath
512mb ddr 2100
geforce2 64mb

urm? u get the picture.. i think this system could take an athlon up to
2ghz? and i'm presuming getting a better agp card would help things out as
this system is still pretty much kick-ass for everything else i do. loads of
people had this kind of base system in late 01 early 02.. so what's my best
move to get n2003 running good with about 60-75% of the eye candy say?

many many thanks!

Geforce 4 Ti4200 might be a quick cheap option.  (About 80)  The 1.4GHz CPU
might not like large fields either though....

Geforce 4 Ti first of all, you should be able to pick up a 4200 for under
100 and that should give you the kind of performance you're after.

Si.

I went from a 1.4 to a 2400+ with a GF3 and it made a very noticeable
difference, I am sure much more than if I had spent equivalent money
on a video upgrade.  That said, your GF2 is very long in the tooth...
so it is hard to say.  You really need to do both.  I would make sure
the CPU is taken care of first, then spend your remaining budget on
the gfx card.

Good luck,
Gerald
