cpurkiser Posted October 15, 2002 Share Posted October 15, 2002 I've ordered CMBB, but it hasn't arrived. My new Dell just arrived last week (3 new games convinced me to upgrade.) My system is 2.0 Giga Pentium 4, 512 SDRAM, 80GB, I thought I'd safe some money and get a system with Intel Extreme Graphics instead of GE 4 Force card, and upgrade if I needed to. Well it turns out the graphics performance isn't awesome and worse I can't upgrade, because there is no AGP slot. I'm tempted to return the system but I want to know if anybody has run CMBB on a system with Intel Extreme Graphics and how does it run? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew H. Posted October 15, 2002 Share Posted October 15, 2002 I haven't used that system for CMBB or any other game, but you should return it ASAP. A computer w/o an AGP slot is a tremendous handicap for a gamer, even more so than it was 2 years ago when I was stuck with an agp-less "value computer." The PCI versions of popular AGP cards (i.e., the GeForce 440 MX PCI (or whatever it's precise name is)) bear *no* resemblance to the AGP version of the card because the PCI slot bottlenecks things so much. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agua Posted October 15, 2002 Share Posted October 15, 2002 Yeah, you ought to return it. SDRAM provides poor performance for a P4 as well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cpurkiser Posted October 16, 2002 Author Share Posted October 16, 2002 Returning the system was the consensus on other game boards also. So back to Dell it goes. Give some credit to Dell they will refund my original shipping cost because I ordered a new computer, so all I am out is the cost to ship the computer back. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
