An Older Computer!

[Toby42]

I have an older computer. Are there any tricks that I can do to help the game run better?

My specs: Pentium 4, 3.06ghz, 1mb L2 cache, 533mhz FSB, 1gig shared ram.

More memory.

More memory.

I was under the impression that the game was more processor dependent than memory dependent?

Hi,

Memory is fine, game does not use all that much.

Just make sure nothing else is stealing CPU cycles.

How do I do that Paul? Use Task Manager?

Yeh.

On a normal machine you probably wont find anything. But you never know.

I'm sorry, but could you be more specific? Do you use Task Manager to allocate a priority to the game, or to close processes that you don't need?

Thanks for any insight...

Hi,

You could do either.
Kill a process if it is taking away CPU time from the game (have to be sure you can live without it [:D]).
Or up the priority of the game process.
