My real problem is playing on line. I don't think its the connect since I have a very robust cable connection. I the single player game I stutters when I run into other bots in close proximity. I think it has to do with the rendering of other players - the more player the worst the stutter, this is especially true online when play againts other non-bot players. FPS will substantially drop, but it will pick up again when little or no player models are on screen. I also gets especially shaky in large maps. In small rooms and narrow hallways it's fine. That's why I was asking about some other's system specs - trying to figure out where the bottleneck is. Cheers. Curtis On Friday 01 June 2001 04:57 am, Mark Hounschell wrote:

Hi Ben, how are things? I plan on getting T2 soon. I was curious. I have an ABit BE6-II rev.2.0 with a 500MHz Celery and 160MB of PC100 ram with a GF2-MX (gainward-cardex model). What are you running? The reason I'm asking is that UT is very choppy at times and the net play is mediocre. I'm thinking of getting a 800+ P3-133 and 256-133 ram. I know that this will give me better performance, but if it only amounts to ~5% I may save my money and get and Athlon and DDR-ram. Any suggestions or thoughts?
P.S. The new NV: 1.0-1251 drivers give stunnig graphics but frame rate is about 1/2 speed compared to the x-769 drivers. Evil3D did a review and states they have diminished performance at the lower res (go figure), this has been my experience also.
On my box (1024X768) running "ssystem -bench" gave me about a 10fps increase over the 769 version. 600 athlon/TNT2.
