Running NFS: Underground

[OE]

Well thanx, my system has a 1 ghz processor, 512 mb ram, 32 mb grforce2 mx 400 video card.

What's my limiting factor when it comes to gaming?

All of the above.

IMO an entry level gaming system should consist of the following:

Athlon XP 2500+ (Mobile)
ABIT AN7 nVIDIA nForce2 Ultra 400
OCZ PC3200 DDR400 512MB
Maxtor 120GB SATA
Plextor 12X DVD-/+RW
Antec TRUE550 550 Watt
nVidia GeForce FX 6600
Lian Li PCV2000 or any GOOD Aluminum PC case

The XP2500+ is a huge bottleneck in the system I suggested but they do seem to overclock well

come on dude tha's by no means a entry level system, cause that system u are talkin about will basically be able to run most if not all the games at thier highest settings without too much problem. though i do get your point takin into consideration they have said to run doom3 at it total potential u need 512mb vid card lol there is some sh#t right there

its not 512 video card twista its the recommended amount for ram. 512video card are only made for professianals not gamers. the most you can get now is 256mb.

Well i gettin the game this week so i'll see how it runs. It runs great on one of my friend's system but i cant afford the hardware that he's got right now.

And i should say that i'm not that much of a gamer, but when i get a good game i like to see it run smoothly enough.

Oh and anybody know where to get good gamepads for a good price. It must have dual analog sticks. My Gravis Eliminator Aftershocks are failing me.

actually i was talkin about video card ram, i read it somewhere at them time of it's release, and yeah i know 512 cards aren't out to the general public on a whole. yet at least.

back to the car list that was mentioned i'm thinkin it's goin to be very cool very very cool,

Well its me, i got the game and it runs okish. Could be better, much better, but i think i found a good balanca between graphics and performance. It runs perfect on my mother's laptop that has 1.4GHz 512 RAM (not sure if its ddram or sdram), and some 32MB Radeon video card. I hooked it up to my tv using a s-video cable and SWEEET!

The game is good still, not too easy, not too challenging. I wish it had a 2 player mode and replays. Maybe one day i'll try playing online.

And also, maybe one day i'll have a Celica like the one i customised in the game. Just maybe.
