NR2003 question

Will NR2003 run on AMD 850MHz, 640 MEGS of RAM, and an ATI 7500 64 MEG? I have been playing Nascar4 with no problems. I know what the NR2003 specs on the box are, but I don't want to cut down the graphics. Mark

I run it on a P3 1000 with 512MB ram, and Geforce2 Pro 64MB without any problems at all. Ninja "MWB" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:qOv7a.4991$[email hidden]...

With no AA and low end graphic selections it'll run fine. Time to get a new card at the very least. Frankly if you really want to enjoy N2003, at least IMO, time for you to get a new rig.

That's a good enough reason for me to buy a new computer. Thanks "Kevin Webb" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

My suggestion would me.. Asus A7N8X mobo - �100ish (onboard 5.1 sound, networking, SATA, USB 2, firewire - will take the new 400 fsb Barton chips due in April ) Athlon 2200 CPU - (�85ish - good price/performance level here - equiv Intel CPU is �130 ) 2 x TwinMos 512mb DDR 3200 Ram - �156ish ( I notice you have 600 meg in your current rig - I guess you're a 3d or Photoshop kind of chap - otherwise, get 2 x 256 meg instead ) And Radeon 9700 pro - �220ish Heatsink - take yer pick - good one = �20. all up - about �580ish. Depending on your current rig - you may need to get a new case - but your HDD, CD/DVD, Mouse, Keyboard, Monitor - can all carry across and you could Ebay the left overs and get a couple of hundred quid for them - so you actual outlay might only be �380ish This sort of rig will between double and trebble your current gaming performance - and future proof you thru to the very last of the socket A processors ( perhaps a 3400ish 400fsb Athlon 'Barton' Core) For probably 1/3rd the price of buying a retail PC that has all those components - I'd say its a bargin Doug

I have a 900mhz with 256 RAM and a Ti 4400 128k. I've tweaked it as well as I can, but my real problem is the lack of DDR memory. My benchmark testing has shown that with non-DDR memory, the nice video card I have is bottlenecked by the system.

Very interesting. I have 512MB SDRAM and a AMD1600 processor and a GF2MX 64MB vid card. Wonder what the ideal vid card for my specs would be? "ThreeWide" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:8lT7a.1476$[email hidden]...

either a GF3 Ti200 or a GF4Ti4200 would more than be enough for that system, anything more is essentially wasted on that system, anything less and you might not get its full potential. -- Biz "Don't touch that please, your primitive intellect wouldn't understand alloys and compositions and,......things with molecular structures,....and the....." - Ash "RHinNC" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:g_U7a.56609$[email hidden]... > Very interesting.

A) yes it will run...but not well. You will need to limit the graphics. Heck guys with twice your system specs have to cut back. B) With 640 megs of ram, do you have win98 or XP? If Win98 you will probably see better overall system performance if you reduce your total memory to only 512mb. C) If your system can play N4, it can play N2k3, but it still won't be as fast. dave henrie
