Get the TnT2 and keep the V2 On Thu, 25 Mar 1999 06:01:37 GMT, Tim McKillican <timmck@NOSPAMhome.com> took some time away from whatever he/she was doing and wrotf: >Hi, > >I have a P2-300 w/ 64 megs of RAM with a CL Voodoo2 8 meg. I'm trying >to decide whether it'd be worth it to upgrade to a TNT2 or a V3. Is my >system fast enough to make an upgrade worth it? Would the 32-bit >support of the TNT2 run fast enough to actually use it over 16-bit? The >main game I will be playing in the future is TFC for Halflife, since I >am a hardcore TF1 clan player, and I think that everyone will move over >to TFC. Would a new video card boost my performance in Halflife enough >to get rid of my V2 and add a TNT2 or V3? I already have someone that >is willing to buy my V2 for $100 cdn. And if it is worthwhile, which >card should I get? I plan on upgrading my processor sometime around >Christmas when the next generation of Intel chips roll after (post P3). > >Thanks for your help, >Tim >(remove NOSPAM if you wish to email me)
