A Ti4200 is very nice on a XP1700+ machine, and my Ti4600 is very, very nice on 2Ghz

Good news everyone! I really am THAT good...

A rather cutting remark there...

Actually quite of few of the users of the software that the company I work make for dont know how to reset their computers...

I'm not that stupid. I know what Geforce is (it's a graphics card, yeah?), I know what anti-aliasing is (jaggies blurred for smoother graphics. It's just the assorted numbers (and a few letters) strewn about the place that confuse me.

E.g. "Woohoo just got a geforce 4 4600 8x AGP"

I get "Woohoo just got a geforce 4"
I don't get "4600 8x AGP"

4600 is the model/chip number
8x AGP is faster than 4x AGP which is faster than 2x AGP which is faster than 1x AGP which AGP just stands for Advanced Graphics Port which is capable of faster memory access than the PCI.

the other numbers are the 3DMark score
9584 is pretty good, and is the combined number of your Graphics card and processor - the bigger the mark the better your system is.
ran 3DMark2003 yesterday on my Quadro System, got 26,671 on it hehee
thats just the QuadroFX on its own (^_^) ... added with the CPU score and its enough to make most systems cry.
Puffies might come close once he finally upgrades to dual processors.

I tell how good my computer is by playing games on it. Like my recent purchase 'Neverwinter Nights'. It was a little difficult to get into with me knowing nothing about D&D.

If you want something to test how good the card is, get Unreal 2 and whack up all the detail options - done it on my 2Ghz machine and there is no slowdown.

Alternatively, try C&C:Generals...

I got 2.2 GHz. Now I can finally play Diablo II (expansion) without it crashing every two minutes (in fact I can play it on the highest settings with no slowdown!)

Ive got
Athlon 2.6xp
512meg DDR 333
and my shiny new Radeon 9700 pro

Its so good to see a 64 player game of BF1942 running at full whack
with all settings high. I was getting by with a Gforce2 MX beforehand :-s the stuttering at mid detail settings on a relativly small game was becoming a right pain in the arse

Ya Im really liking it so far, I have an athlon xp 1700 with 256 ram. I just ran the particle showcase and got about 550 fps and 200fps with both mouse buttons held down. On my laptop with a mobility radeon 7500 it slows to about 20 fps with both buttons down
