I got an Athlon 3000+, GeForce MX 4000 card
I got Quake 2 to run on it (manual install) using OpenGL and I was pretty impressed !!!!!!!!
It turns out thoe, that many of the older windows games don't want to run on XP (Age of Empires for example) properly.
Anyway, anyone know of the older games (say 5 years+ ) that will run on a PC with XP and some more up-to-date architecture ?
I am sorry to diverse a little, but I brought Doom 3 and must say that I was impressed by that game as well. A little full on and creepy in some parts (as Doom always has been) but good gameplay - can be a little laggy on the graphics if you don't have a top-notch system (on my MX 4000, it still slows down in patches).
