I am not a expert but I still think its a video card. I know memory is the best up grade but a vid card is a big plus I seem to be bumping into 733 meg computers. I put 512 meg mem and all is ok but toss in a vid card and performance is really noticeable. I think even more so then the mem up grade just my 2 cents. I was afraid he did have 500 meg memory I have a PC that has a strange # like that. some chips are bad my 9 year old has that PC. I will fix it when it becomes a problem runs every thing 100 % for her. I mean how much CPU will sponge bob take |

Listen, in the days of Pentium 500's, we ran Windows 98 with 32 or 64 megs of memory, and 8 meg PCI video cards. It was more than adequate. We're talking emulating PACMAN here people. |

I have a HP 233 on board vid and sound 64 meg mem running xp pro Mame 56 running fine well Ms PAC sound strange. I just put this together I need to read back and see what version he is running. I think it was a high number I like 56 because it was a final version. |

WinXP will recognize and use up to 512MB and possibly more with SP2 installed... Other than that, I don't know why a P3 600mhz is not enough to run your games, do you have an old video card? You should update your drivers as well.... --- End quote --- XP SP1/NO SP will use more than 512mb, that' one of the benefits of the 2000-based OS's. |
