On my old system, I needed to run JK2 in windowed mode with all the settings at medium. On Cloud Shark I was gettings 30-40 FPS in most areas. In the fishbowl there was one spot where I could get 100 FPS on a good day... without anyone on the server.

Out of the box w/o tweaks, I was able to run JK2 in full screen mode and all settings at maximum. On Could Shark I got 90 FPS in most areas. In the fish bowl I pulled over 200 FPS while looking at the sweetspot.

My PCs are always works in progress. I use them until they die. I just recently buried my Pentium 75. And 1.5 years ago I blew up my AMD DX4 120... smile.gif

Never waste the money you spend!
