It was supposed to come with a Radeon 8000 I think but this Intel card was apparantly an "upgrade" and I was told it performs better.
I'm going to bring the computer back and make him give me the ATI card instead seeing as it'll likely be better than this thing. I'm bringing my Radeon 8500 over from my computer onto this one though and I'll see how that goes :). |

I suggest returning the entire computer and then building your own computer. You'll spend less money and you'll have a better computer then most out there. |

| Its the onboard video that is killing you man. Your system is fine. Go out and buy a nice video card, an Nvidia 6800 or even one of the cheaper Geforce FX series cards and you'll see a big difference. ATI cards are good too, the XT800 is pretty nice. One thing that would be helpful, particularly to me, is your 3DMark score. I have the same setup as you, 1GB Ram, 3Ghz CPU. Running the very newest 3DMark, I get a little over 1000 for a score. Running the older 2003 version, which is what I suggest you run, I get about a 6700 score. Run that and let me know what you get. With that onboard video, I bet you'll only get something in the 1,000-2,000 range. |

For doom 3...none of those cards in the page will be any good :( . As Magnus mentioned download the 3dmark01SE or 03 and see what your scores are. The links are here:
3dmark01SE
3dmark03
Try also a reformat because worms should run well, I had a friend with a sound driver conflict that really slowed him down. Try the 3dmark01SE and post your score. |

umm.. you have a card that is 2-3 generatoins behind in term of graphic power. So its sort of an downgrade if u upgraded from onboard agp in todays standard. I think you got rip off if u got the 8500 for alot in upgrading it from onboard agp. better to build your own than to buy retail unless u goto specialty shops like alienware, falcon nw, dell, and
whats teh specs? |
