Ok, I know the nVidia GeForce FX 5200 is slow, bud I didn't know it was THAT slow!

THIS IS NOT VISTA, IT'S A VISTA SHELL FOR XP

Maybe I should invest in somerthing that's at least a MHz...

The idea of any hi-fi system is to reproduce the source material as faithfully as possible, and to deliberately add distortion to everything you hear (due to amplifier deficiencies) because it sounds 'nice' is simply not high fidelity. If that is what you want to hear then there is no problem with that, but by adding so much additional material (by way of harmonics and intermodulation) you have a tailored sound system, not a hi-fi. - Rod Elliot, ESP

I'd would think about overclocking that bad boy

Running vista with that kind of a setup?!
Do you have anything left for other aplications?

!! What the?

You mean it was already at those speeds? Or did you change it and make the screenie (if possible).

Either way, shocked me.

Notice the settings are on Standard (2D). Switch it to 3D, see if anything changes.

It's not Vista, i expected an answer like that... It's the Vista Transformation Pack 7.0, Very nice Vista shell for XP, complete with Aero.

And the sliders are stuck at that position. Of course it's not really 0 MHz, Coolbits just say it... Somekind of error I got a bit shocked too when I went to the settings the first time and saw it...

I found it in the trash of a local computer store a couple of years ago... My first 100 BF2 hours were actually played on that card, along with my old 3GHz P4 CPU, that I still use

So I didn't buy it, I got it for 100% free of charge. And back in 2005 that was actually a pretty descent card.

Thats nearly my computer.
I have p4 3Ghz

If I get 25 fps it is very good.

What socket/revision of P4 have you got? Mine is a Prescott 630 with HT

Either you:

- Pulled it all the way down to 0;
- You are in "manual overclocking", so 0MHz means that it has been overclocked by 0MHz.

No, it's bugged. As I said before, it doesn't run in 0 MHz, I posted this because I thought other people might find it entertaining. And I didn't drag it. Watch the full-size, and you'll see it's got two modes. The slider doesn't move.

How would I find that out?

I'm on a different PC at them moment.
P4 2.66GHz
512MB RAM
nVidia GeForce 4 MX 420

Don't worry. We do have another PC semi in use which is worse.

AMD K7 500 MHz processor
128MB RAM
Windows 98
nVidia RIVE TNT2 model 64 with 32MB memory!!

My computer had a Riva just like that before I upgraded it to a Radeon 9600 and eventually to the Radeon X1650PRO I have now.

It just got worse. Turns out its 2.8GHz. Which is weird because I could have sworn I checke dxdiag the other day.
Anyway I still don't know what socket/revision it is so:

Lol, I've got a 6600 and a 7900GT. I'd use the 6600 in this computer if my PCIe motherboard wouldn't be broken; My gaming rig has the 6600, and my 7900GT is lying unused (No, I won't give it to you)

Check on boot; When you've just turned on (Don't get me wrong, perverts ) your computer, it should say something like

"Intel Pentium 4 630 3.0GHz
3000 MHz"

If it's rolling through too fast, press the

Pause
Break

button on your keyboard. Just above PageUp.
