For 3 years I have dealt with 4 - 8 fps no matter what game I play.

Does anyone have anything they would give away? Anything whatsoever? We don't have spare money for anything computer related. I am too young for a job.

Anything will help and I am most grateful for anyone that helps me.

It would help if you posted what system you run right now, and what graphics settings.

I have 2002 HP system. 2.0 Ghz celeron processor. 256 ram. internal graphics. 30 gig hd.

my graphics in lfs are as low as they will go. lowest res, with all the options off or on low.

Damn, I just gave away a X800XT on the forum

Not that it would make much of a difference, your CPU being what it is.

Even with the Celeron, I'd have to say the on-board graphics is what's killing your FPS more than anything.

You can't mow enough lawns to afford a $60 AGP card or something? There has to be a better solution.

You have another prob

You're probably right, as all IGP's are obviously the same performance-wise.

Great news!

My brother just won a new computer in a contest, and he's giving me his old one.

Specs:
3.0 Ghz Processor Single Core
2 gigs of ram
Nvidia 5500 graphics card
160 gig hd.

Can't wait! I guess my patience paid off.

Keep the best look case, and move all the stuff from one to another, keep the best

Replace the graphics card on that new PC with a 7600 or even an ATi 9800, the 5500 is a bottleneck.
