I'm reading 29-30fps using a Pentium 3 at 800Mhz with 384MB RAM and a Riva TNT-64 (32MB) video card.

Since XenoF has a sleight advantage over my systems CPU, nearly twice as much RAM and a WAY better video card, I am certain that he can get 30fps using his hardware Direct-X 9, vs. my software DX-9!

but the fps is at an average of 10 with all detail things
set to low and my ping is at 200 instead of 30. I think it
may be my graphics card but imnot sure, if it is my graphics
card, where can i get a good one
for under $200 (if possible)

Specs (i think)
DELL 2400 demension series
Intel extreme graphics card integrated... i think
