my ol' 9800 should still cut it right ?

When buying a new mobo I mean searching da 'bay

its an old motherboard, so probably not worth it - and it could be another source of my probs.

Might go for an 80 quid mobo/AMD64 combo

reckon AMD's are best for LFS then ? I'd be looking at about the 2200 mark probs

right, ok thanks. message received ... now to find some cheapo hardware, I need LFS on the widescreen !!

this still isnt sorted


I'm starting to think HD speed ? is it an issue?

is that true?! wow. I always thought it was basically the same Die. Do you know of any benchmarks ??

When I started playing LFS it was on my latop, a P4 1.7gig, 512mb (I think), 9600 machine. It ran brilliantly.

Upgraded to S2 and steering wheel and I'm playing on my HTPC... more powerfull I'd say... P4 1.8, 512, radeon 9800.... It ran terribly.

I benchmarked it, and its obviously slow on the CPU ... can anyone think of anything that would affect it like this ?
