playing CS:S

[stinger608]

Well guys, I will not be able to play CS:S for a few days, as I am building the new system, and I am using a few things out of my old system, so it will be down.
The only system that I am able to use at the moment it a dual P3 Tuatlin 1.33ghz, with very limited video capability, and server 2003. I am sure that it will not be able to run the game, so will be back in the game sometime later this week or this coming up weekend.

I know, I know, you will have to wait a few days to kill me :lol:

Yea, I would imagine that you could do that Lead, but one of the major problems with it is I don't think that CS:S will even install running windows server 2003! The video card is an old ATI rage pro :lol: I think it is only 32mb's or maybe it is only 16mb's :roll:

Needless to say, I am pretty sure, even if it will load and run under server 2003, I am pretty sure the video card is way, way under specks :lol:

It will install on Win2k3. It will even play with that card, but you aren’t gonna like it.

I used to use Win2K3 as my OS until I got a Bluetooth KB and Mouse. Win2K3 doesn't support BT, imagine that.

if you force CSS into DX6 mode, it will switch to software rendering, wich dual P3s should manage

ah hell, it really dosen't mater any more :lol:
I got the s939 running with the 7600gt and 3800+ dual core today, and I am loading steam as I write :D :D :D

Oh man, this thing is fast, kind of reminds me of the time I went from a amd duron 750mhz to a athlon 2500+ barton core

I have been running oblivion now for about an hour, and there hasn't been one single skip 8)
