SOF demo super laggy.

[MaTriX]

If i am not wrong, this demo uses quake2 engine but i got super lag (lousy framerates)
even on my G400Max!!! Harddisk is swarpping like its on fire!!!

Did anyone encounter this problem or is it my system that needs to be upgraded again.

my specs:
Atlon 500
MSI 6167
64 SDRAM--------should i get another 64RAM to solve the problem???
or is it my
Quantum 3.2GB ATA33 harddisk----- will buying a ATA66 harddisk solve the problem???

Thanks for the contribution.

I run the SOf demo fine @ 1024x768 32bit....with all the eye-candy turned on...I only have a celeron 550 (366@550) but also 256mgs of EMS HSdram (2-2-2) so there is your problem...get about 128 and you'll be fine.

More RAM certainly won't hurt....
except in the wallet!

Thanks guys, i got myself another 64rams but of different brand (1 samsung and 1 hyundai) don't know can mix these 2 but it seems to be working fine.

After playing SOF again with 128Ram, wow!!! lots of difference!!! NO MORE LAGS!!!

Anyway i also brought a quantum LCT ATA66 harddisk too but don't know how to partition it...hehehe help needed so i can install win98se.

To partition your drive you use FDISK found in your windows/command directory. You'll need to boot with a floppy then run fdisk from the floppy. Just follow the instructions and you should get it figured out. After partitioning you have to format so don't try partitioning the drive if you don't wanna lose stuff on it.
