Actually the funny thing is that we reformatted the 'advanced' rig after it was infected with a virus and there is nothing running in the background. There is no internet connection or anti-virus program is installed. Just Microsoft Office and those two games.

Meanwhile, the older rig has internet connection and anti-virus and yet Pacific Fighters ran slightly better and MM2's frame rate was through the roof.

Anyway guys, I'm gonna let this thread go since the new rig is going back to my grandmother's hands in a few days. Though thanks for everything.

Everything's all good so I'm still confused on why games are so d@mn laggy....I'll check Nvidia again and see what comes up there.

Well for all you Nvidia users I have a question. My grandmother lent us her PC for a while after it broke down and after it was fixed I decided to have a go at testing the PC's GPU.

The GPU is an Nvidia 6100 with 256MB of memory. I ran Pacific Fighters and tested the Shaders by activating the 3D water and the framerate is like a d@mn turtle.

Then I switched the video mode from OpenGL to DirectX and the framerate increased a bit but it was still laggy. My older PC with the 64mb GPU ran better than this one.

So I tested an old game (Midtown Madness 2 and this game only required 8mb of video memory) and what was real shocking was that the frame rate was not very great. My older rig had a more decent framerate than on my grandma's PC.

So guys I was hoping if you could help me out with this one. How is it that a 256mb video card has trouble running a game that only requires 8mb of video memory?

Oh, okay. D@mn my PC.

No chance that some kind soul would support you with let's say 120$? Nowadays any PC for that price can handle BFV.

I am planning to get a new rig this year, and when that happens I'm getting BF2 as well. Always wanted to play FH2. Looks awesome.

I'm thinking about getting Battlefield Vietnam but before I do, a question with the system requirements: Are the system requirements for this one the same as Battlefield 1942 or are they different?

My PC specs is:

GPU: 64.00MB (Internal)
RAM: 448.00mb
Processor: Intel Celeron CPU 1.6Ghz

I know, my desktop is ancient for today's standard. 

Battlefield 1942 runs at around 20-22FPS on my PC. So if BV works will the frame rate drop or remain the same?

Ah, no matter what Allied Assault is the best MOH game developed IMO. I will take no notice of the betas though, since they are only betas. But if the quirks in the demo are found in the full game, I think EA has killed the MOH franchise.

Damn you Fuchs... I'm now uninstalling Forgotten Hope on my PC.

For a minute there I thought he jumped out of the airliner in-flight.
