I have a 1GHz Intel Pentium III CuMine on socket 370 motheboard but NFS:U2 dosn't run good, I want to know if I'm going to take the CPU to 1162.5 dose NFS:U2 goimg to run fine. Here are my specs: CPU: Intel Pentium III 1000MHz 133FSB Coppermine core 256KB cache RAM: 256Mb Micron PC133 MB: From a Toshiba Equium 8100D PC Video card: nVidia GeForce 4MX440 AGP 4X 64MB 128 Bits

"Need for Speed Underground 2 will need the following PC system requirements. CPU: Pentium III 933 MHz or higher RAM: 128 MB or higher, 256 MB or higher for XP OS: Windows 98/ME/2000/XP HD-space: at least 1000 MB Graphics Card: 32 MB or higher, DirectX 9.0" Your system doesn't quite meet the minimum requirements & minimum is the key word. If you want it to run well, you need to exceed the minimum. You need more RAM (256MB is barely enough for WinXP) & you definitely need a better video card.

Too bad you don't have a Tualatin P3; at 1.4GHz those things could outpace 2.0GHz P4s. Overclocking your processor is a fine idea; go for it. Not only will you be able to crank out more MIPs, you'll also gain more memory bandwidth. Your 133MHz memory will run at 155MHz. You'll want to upgrade your memory to 512MB. If you have an i810/815 chipset and decide to upgrade your memory, 512MB is all you'll want, as these chipsets don't cache more than 512MB. A better video card would also help. ATI 9800 Pros are really cheap now, and even a 9600 type card would run NFSU2 3-4 times faster than an MX440.

I doubt he can overclock much with that 0.18nm coppermine. They max out at 1.13Ghz which Intel had recall on those ones. Your best bet is 150 x 7.5 = 1125Mhz, but that won't help you much in terms of getting better fps in NFS U2... Radeon 9800pro may help you a bit, but it will be bottleneck by your CPU... As you overclock that coppermine, if you don't have 7ns PC133 RAM, hitting 150Mhz may be difficult...

"MB: From a Toshiba Equium 8100D PC" lol, I didn't even notice you have that toshiba motherboard... Looks like your out of luck in terms of overclock...

Time to save some money up and get yourself a better pc. AMD Athlon 64 X2 4400+ OC 2.7ghz 2GB Dual Channel DDR 3200 Nvidia 7800GT SATA II 2x 200gig 7200rpm 16mb cache RAID-0 Gigabyte Nforce 4 SLI

The GeForce 4 is not the problem because that card could run San Andreas in 1024X768X32 in High detail. The Toshiba motheboard has a Award BIOS with Friqvenci and voltage control the max FSB is 160MHz I could only reach 145MHz FSB @1.75V(default). My CPU is now at 1123.5MHz and I have now 512MB RAM. Could a Tualatin@1.4GHz reach 1.7GHz, and wath MB do I need for that. THANKS
