Celeron 1.3 Gig
384 MB Sdram
Geforce-2 64MB PCI Video Card running v53.03 drivers
Via Mainboard with latest drivers v4.51
on-board via AC97 sound
Win2k SP4
DirectX 9.0b

Can someone give me some advise, my system appears to make the grade with the recommended system for BGE, but I am getting terrible performance. I realize a PCI card is not good and the on-board sound as well. But I feel I shgould be able to play at a better resolution than the lowest setting, very fustrating!

sorry at work and can not get the directx info file.

A PCI card is like running the game on a video card set to 1x AGP, just a little slower. Your card is supported, but without the large bandwidth that the 8x AGP cards gets won't allow you to play this game that already kills the 8x AGP cards. The performance you're seeing is correct.

My system:

AMD XP 3000+ @ 2.23Ghz
1 gig of Corsair DDR PC2700 RAM @354Mhz
Radeon 9800 Pro video w/TV out core @434, mem @730
Windows XP SP 1
Microsoft Directx 9.0b
Antec TruePower TrueBlue True480 PSU
LiteOn DVD+/-RW drive
Plexwriter CD-RW
Maxtor Diamond 9 160GB SATA hdd
Westerndigital 40 gig harddrive
Westerndigital 100 gig hdd (external)
Asus A7V600 VIA KT600 mainboard
Creative 5.1 surround system
Thermaltake Aquarius II liquid cooling system
