Wow, you really have some serious issues with me, for whatever reason. The feeling isn't mutual. I don't hate you, but I don't care for you either. I just wonder why you're so angsty towards me. Part of me continued to see if I could find out why.

Look, I never had intentions of getting into anything. I come here to discuss hardware, gaming, and emulation, and that's what I'm going to go back to doing. I could care less about arguing (at least in this way). Arguing only happens when two people can't get along, and I refuse to take part in this any longer. For that reason alone, I'm done.

It's been impossible to discuss with you anyway. You completely dodge what I say and just kick up more dirt time and again, and the discussion is so far off track now. That's why I'm done with it. You were doing nothing but trolling, and I shouldn't have even replied to you for that reason alone. Maybe if you figure out what your anger towards me is from, and decide to be more mature (and tolerable!) in the future, we can have a better discussion with one another.

So far... graphics.. sort of decent... performance scaling isn't as good as i'd like but i guess a single core athlon xp with a Geforce FX isn't the strongest :P
Get over it? Done.

I'd wager the GPU is holding things back more. It requires a shader model 2 card, and on nVidia's end, the GeForce FX is is the lowest card to support it, and we all know how shader model 2 support was on the GeForce FX series.

In other words, you're basically using just a tad above the minimum requirements as far as the GPU itself goes. Some onboard GPUs work, but they need alot of CPU power (like 1.8GHz of a whole core of a Core 2 CPU alone) when paired with the onboard GPUs (which aren't many) that it supports.
