Comment:

I installed deus ex on our secondary pc. it is a dell dimension xps r400 400 mhz penteum 2 128 mb ram. when i play deus ex using DIRECT 3D SUPPORT there is alot of graphics corruption. the video card is an ati rage pro with 4 mb vram. The software renderer is very bad quality so i don't use it. any suggestions? any advice appreciated.

My guess would be because you only have 128MB RAM on a WinXP system.

Could it be that 256MB still isn't enough? Hmmmm.....
Have you tried updating the driver for your antique video card?
