my old pc

[TAT-P90]

when i bought my new pc (the one i use to play HL2) i gave my extremely old pc to my sister.

Before i formated the old one, it ran quite smoothly with its system:

200mhz pentium
64mb ram
some sound card
16mb 3dfx voodoo banshee DX7(max)
...

I used to play Ut on it and it used to work smoothly but now its all slow and skipping. the same goes to HL1. I mean i used to run them on 800x600 (ut medium skin and medium world)(HL1 well, high i guess) and smoothly, but now 512x324(something like that) butg with lots of frame drops and all.

I tryed everything and still is working lke shit. Can someone help me out on this???

try the one that says " community game support" someone will probably help you in there.

Try getting some updates for your gfx card. That should help.

i found the same, my dads old 400MHz P2, 128MB RAM, Voodoo 3 2000 16MB, SoundBlaster 5.1 or some surround sound. used to run fine, no matter what. now, with windows 2000 installed, takes forever to boot, forever to load up a browser, forever to even start MSN Messenger.
maybe its the aging ancient maxtor 5,400rpm 10GB thats wearing out
