Ok, I am just wondering what kind of fps I can get from a pII 400, 64ram, and a soon to be v4 4500. Running say..half-life at 800X600 resolution+..?

Expect pretty good frame rates. More than 30 FPS for sure. Heck you'd probably be able to run the game at 1280x1024 with smooth frame rates.<P>However, how come you are going with a Voodoo 4500? Unless you are planning on playing Glide enabled games or Unreal engine games, I would recommend a Geforce2 MX for overall better performance.<P>------------------<BR>Amir R.

Well see, the reason I am going with a Voodoo 4 4500 is because well, even though my cpu is pentium based, for some reason...no AGP slots <IMG SRC="http://www.guru3d.com/ubb/frown.gif"> so to me a voodoo 4 4500 PCI is the most reasonable card to go with because its at a damn good price and its not tooooo old.

Jeez, Hilbert! I thought that was gonna be our little secret!<P>Ok Dan, that's what I wanted to know. If you are stuck with a PCI, then the Voodoo 4500 is your best, and a pretty good choice, although a bit more expensive than it should be.<P>There also Geforce2 MX PCI which you may want to consider. <P>BTW- What's your CPU?<P><P>------------------<BR>Amir R.
