I reciently reformated my HD and upgraded from Win98SE to Win2K. General specs on my machine are:
1. Athalon 900
2. 398MB RAM
3. Western Digital 120GB HD (7200RPM)
4. VooDoo3 16MB video card
5. Win2K SP4
6. Cable Modem (756Kbps down, 128Kbps up)
I know, your first comment will be "get a new video card". BUT, I was generally getting 15 to 30 fps with I had Win98SE installed, however, with Win2K, I generally get 4 to 15 fps. All the hardware is the same.
I have set the renegade settings as low as they will go, both in resolution and the performance settings and still get lower fps than with Win98SE.
So my questions is... Is there a setting somewhere in Renegade or Win2K that I need to change? A followup question would be is there a third party Video card driver that may help?
I don't know much about computers, so any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!
