Subject: RE: lag (was: rez changed)


Nick warned us:

"In any case of your #3, I would highly recommend that folk *not* play
EQ
with a Voodoo I or Voodoo II based accelerator because of the poor bus
interface that the early Voodoo line fell prey to (and the Voodoo III
has
somewhat has inherited - Doh! please don't smack me 3DFX =) ) EQ is
definantly a texture heavy game and AGP makes all the difference in the
world for moving them around."

I respond:

Hey, now, I use two Voodoo2 cards in SLI mode, and I am a
smoothly-running happy camper at 1024x768. My AGP card is a measly
Matrox G200 (just for fun, I tried running EQ using only THAT card at
1024x768. While the color was astonishingly improved, I could barely
move. :))

Anyway, just for the record, i'm running a 450Mhz K6-III, 256Mb of
SDRAM, have a very fast UltraDMA Fujitsu HD, and a nice fat 21"
Viewsonic P815 monitor to watch all the action :)
