i posted this originally in the gamesworld discussion section, under Is My....., ..... thread.
control panel>appearance and themes>display>settings tab>advanced button>click on ur vid card tab (top right, usually)>direct 3d settings, click on the drop down menu that says mip map detail to the right of it and select high performance. the graphics in the games that i have haven't gone down a bit, and i get 7-10 fps more!!!! :D , this is by far the best tweak i've ever used for games!!!! oh, and another crazy ass trick clears up resources and cleans up ur cpu power, so u can play graphic intensive games: click start>run>"Rundll32.exe advapi32.dll,ProcessIdleTasks" , hit okay and don't do anything for 10-20 minutes, it'll look like it's doing nothing (the computer), but infact it is, so read a book or something until 20 minutes is up. now start up that graphic intensive game, and wholla! before applying the above mentioned tweaks to my comp, i was running the already "enhanced" doom 3 alpha at 10 fps average, after the tweaks, 20 freaking fps!!!!! :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o , there is a god! :blink:
hope that helps guys out there that have crappy comps like mine, i got the rundll tweak from tweakxp.com, hats off to them. my specs:
amd athlon 1.2 ghz
384 ddr mb ram
120 gb hdd(with 90gb free)
32 mb geforce mx 100/200 with latest drivers from nvidia
crappy old motherboard.
hope this helps anyone looking for some more power from there pc. pls give me some feedback as to how good these tweaks work :) , oh, don't flame pls, just trying to help out the klite community.
