Quote from S14 DRIFT :

If you are sure you have 2x256 sticks in you should have 512mb showing. Unless you have a 200something mb shared graphics card, I doubt one of your sticks is working.

E: :doh:

I'm getting tired, seems like you have a larged shared graphics card.

Well i do have 2x256mb sticks dono u might b right

Quote from danthebangerboy :

You have ash, there are 2x256mb sticks in there mate, although why windows is only showing 284mb is very strange.

The GFX card is a little 64 or 32mb card, which will cause the FPS to be pants.

I have managed to source an asus 256mb graphics card in the correct AGP Small Form Factor size as a normal AGP is too big for the case, but it is in the USA.

Ill see what else i can find ash.

Sorry Dan i didn't see your reply there thank you for having a look Dan

Quote from SparkyDave :

If you have an older maybe shared GFX, you may need a better PC to get really good 30+ FPS or you will have to run with very minimum GFX settings, a good test would be to play in single player mode with only your car on the track, FPS will decrease with every extra car that is displ;ayed.

but if your GFX says it can't do 3D then other games would also run really slow if at all.

To get an avatar (the little pic under my name) and a signature (the clickable bit under the line under all my posts, all you need to do is upgrade your LFS account to S2. full info here

This also unlocks all the extra cars and tracks.

SD.

sorry i didn't see your reply here but my other games run perfectly i have done all what every1 has said but still no luck mayb i just need 2 get more ram and better graphics card hey

Quote from wild :

I presume if you have a 512MB stick in your computer that your shared GFX card is using 256 mb?

Quote from dougie-lampkin :

We have these PCs in our IT lab in school, that was built at least 6 years ago (I've been here 6 years and they were there when I joined). They are terrible at even normal everyday tasks, I wouldn't expect much from them in any game TBH (Now the CAD lab is another story, 30x XPS 640's )

All you can do is turn everything down to the lowest (don't worry about AA/AF, I don't think the onboards chip in them supports it), and play in 800x600. It won't be pretty, and you won't have massive frame rates. But it should be playable then There isn't really anything else you can do apart from add more RAM, which should help a bit (onboards GFX + low RAM = fail). Changing the CPU might be an option if you found a cheap replacement. P4s are good for 3.0Ghz-ish on those sockets I think, so it's an option at least

I have 512 ram

ok well i'll do that, oh yeah erm my grahics card says something like can't suport 3d or somethin like that in the graphics options 1 more thing how do i get the little bit under the comment like yours because i would like to put Green And White's DanTheBangerBoy my brother in law somehting like that Thank You
