RCbutcher Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 My pc serves standard basic use so not Important but ive always wanted to play a certain game but always hated pc games but saw it cheap so grabbed it. ( battle stations Pacific) I installed it and tried to play after a minute it started to freeze and jump glitching I think its called. So I thought ide find out what my pc has inside using Google I found out I could run dxdiag or something then wrote down anything I thought might help you guys tell me if its my computer or something else. Ive played grand theft auto and call of duty on it Just to see if it could so I thought this would play.

heavyleftthumb Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 i reckon the processor is fine tbh p4 3 gig is only single core and your dual core should be fine. i reckon its more likely to be driver issue. or bios issue. as might be well out of date, try updating everything from manufacturers website and then see how it goes.

heavyleftthumb Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 i know it says 256mb graphics on the req spec but does it say gfx min spec. i know on some of the other titles i got it says some thing like at least 8800gt 512mb or moresorry to keep posting but found this on a website for the game The following graphics cards are not supported: ATI X1xxx series, Intel GMA series and NVIDIA 7xxx series. which mean your graphics card is the cause pal.....or so it seems Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RCbutcher Posted January 7, 2015 Author Share Posted January 7, 2015 Ive been given a dell 9200 The pc in the first post needs a power supply i think. But can i combine the two for a better pc? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philuk Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 1Gig ram is a tad low for gaming, would be my first issue to address, max 3 gig for a 32 bit machine, any more than that would be a waste, Depending on motherboard, the maxx ram speed should be fitted look on the motherboard for make and model, go to the manufacturers web site and look at the mobo specs and download the mobo manual, This will list the ram suported by the mobo, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
