I've got a PII 233, Viper turbo, Voodoo II 8 meg, SB16 and 64 megs of memory. Would increasing memory to 128 meg also increase framerate in GPL? Cheers.
says... Probably not by much if any at al, but you will be able to save larger replays. -- ========================================================= John Simmons - Redneck Techno-Biker (Zerex12) http://www.members.home.net/jms1/index.html John Simmons - Barbarian Diecast Collector http://members.home.net/jsimm/diecast_index.html IGPS Director http://www.paddedwall.org/igps/igps.html If you want to send me email, go to either of the URL's shown above & click "Send Me Mail" in the contents frame. =========================================================

I'm not sure if you want to overclock, but if you are: One of my PCs is a PII 266 that I'm running at 300MHz. I got about a 10% increase in framerate in GPL. The PII 233, 266, and 300 are essentially the same chip, running with clock multipliers of 3, 3.5, and 4 respectively. You'll need to find out what the motherboard jumper settings are to change the clock multiplier. They all have the same 0.35 micron fabrication size, so a PII 233 overclocked to 300 should not run any hotter than a PII 300. For more info, see the following article from Anand Tech http://206.132.42.114/html/review_display.cfm?document=125 Brian

Actually I found that increasing memory to 128 gave better FPS performance 2-3 frames, and no hard drive swapping ....
