Can my game be better if I upgrade my machine?
Alexina:
A better machine will only take you so far. You'll get nice graphics, fairly nice speed, but the game itself is poorly written using inefficient and half-assed coding hence why it is so slow, glitchy, laggy, runs your fan to max and uses a helluva lot of CPU power, and if you use mods and packs then that adds more load to the game.

Let me translate that for you, Mim: "I am butthurt because I cannot get the game to work myself. Please see the thread I vomited out explaining this in unrelenting detail."
DaSpecialone:
I have the same question .

Is it possible to throw moderate/not extreme money at my machine and improve its S3 reliability?
My specs are:
Xp Professional Sp3
Intel P4 3.20 ghz
Ram 3.25 gigs
Nvidia GeForce 9500 GT W/1 gig video ram
170 gigs free disk space (out of about 420 total)
Dark Trepie:
I'm sort of in the same boat now. My old machine blew up and I'm using a new one I bought some time ago but never got around to setting up till now. It's got seven gigs of ram (Vista 64bit) and a quad core processor so I don't think I'll have any bottleneck issues there. But it has ye olde PCI-E slots. I know the new PCI-E 2.0 cards are backwards compatible. But is it worth dropping the money for one if I don't have PCI-E 2.0 slots? The regular old PCI-E cards are hella cheap on NewEgg.
witch:
If you've just upgraded anyway, it hardly seems worth splashing out the money on a card that won't run to its full capacity. By the time you upgrade to a new mobo, video cards will have got better again, most probably.
