[Aluscia]

Awesome! My prayers to the internet saint have been answered... lol... Good for you d00d. I look forward to practicing with you.

[Stang]

WOOHOO!!! HES BACK!!!

[Gambit]

AUGH! An evil Compaq!!

Aw, that's just the geek in me complaining because you can't really work on 'em, they're so chock-full of proprietary stuff.

But a built-in 3dfx card? Are you sure? I question that since 3dfx is kaput. An nVidia card would be much more likely, plus I didn't see any 3dfx cards on their website. As long as you didn't get the generic "AGP graphics w/shared memory" you should be able to play T2 - thought the TNT2 will struggle a bit if you got that one.

[Aluscia]

Chances are, it's one of those nasty shared memory ones... They are the devil... But, you'll be happy to know, you can play tribes2 on them... especially with that kind of RAM. I could play T2 with one, and I had 64MB RAM... 256? You shouldn't have any problem at all, even with a Voodoo Banshee....:lol

Hey gambit I know about Compaqs Priority Crap. i really do

I told my self i would not ever get on but this was just about the only one i could afford. and i cant afford another Vid card for a while either.

I will get a G- Force 2 MX asap but i need time cause i broke as a *****

And T2 RUNS on my computer but looks crappy :(
and i really need to go threw the tatorials to get some skills

[XRogue]

Skillz or no, at least you GOT t2. And a comp. That is great news, Daxipoo. How was your weekend?

[Aluscia]

Did you turn your sliders way down, Dax? That'll help a lot.

[XMEN Iceman[DTM]]

You need to use the WickedGL drivers for it. T2 looks incredible under them. We got a few people up with their Voodoo 3's running them. Very nice! You better bring that machine to the October LAN party. :)

[THZDax]

Hey IcyPoo I would have to make Reservations with my MOM to do that I might just com though.
i found out what the card was.


it is a
8 meg 3D Savage.

P.S. Only the Open GL drivers will work. the other one DOES NOT WORK AT ALL.

and i will turn down the sliders.


ICE I will see about the LAN i really will but it is a Defanate MAYBEE

See you guys arround.
