at first i wasn't sure if you were joking. i guess you haven't played mario 64 but it was basically praised and praised some more back when it came out for being such a great game. i believe it was the first or one of the first 3d platformers and nintendo made the switch to 3d so well. it was absolutely innovative when it first came out and is still a great game by today's standards (unless you're obsessed with graphics =P). worth 10 bucks for sure if you haven't played it.

well i have a XBR4 52 inch and the graphics suck...

its like playing N64 on a SD Tvhahahah

i have the component cables but you still cant see link's face and everything isnt smooth

does anyone know how to furtherimprove the graphics?

btw REUC and metroid look sweet

exaggerate much? i played Twilight Princess in 480p onmy nice HD TV and it looked good. it looks nice even without an hdtv. btw, in case your forgetting its a gamecube game put on the wii.

first of all please excuse my noobness about computer technology lol.

after looking at the requirements. here's what I found. (this is directly from the requirements detection of Rainbow Six Vegas)

Windows XP - reccomended

CPU Frequency (GHz) - AMD Athlon(tm) 64 x2 Dual Core Processor 3800+ (meets minimum but not reccomended)

Main Memory 960MB -does not meet minimum required(1024MB).

Direct X version 9.0c - reccomended

Video Card - NVIDIA GeForce 6150 LE - reccomended

Video Memory - 256MB - reccomended

Shader Model - 3.0 - reccomended

Floating Point Blending - No - does not meet required.. (what is this)

Full Duplex Sound Card - yes - reccomended

960 MB is like a random amount of RAM, shouldn't it be 1 Gig in the first place? somebody told me that it has to do with 64 MB being used somewhere and not being shown. could anybody elaborate on this? (i might be getting another 512 MB or 1 Gig of RAM anyways to help my comp run faster)

it seems to me like my computer pretty much meets the requirements except for floating point blending and i have no clue what that is.

one last thing - what would be just a general "more bang for my buck" way to increase the gaming performance of my computer? i'm getting into PC gaming kind of and will probably be playing current gen games.

[QUOTE="TboneStone"]i don't know much about the internal workings of computers, and i'm pretty much a newb at system requirements of games and stuff like that. my comp seems to have pretty efficient game capabilities but is lacking in ram -.-TUnified

How much RAM do you have? Do you have Windows Vista, or Windows XP? To see how much RAM you currently have, click on START, then RIGHT CLICK on MY COMPUTER, then click PROPERTIES. It will show how much RAM you have in the window.

that being said, i need to increase my ram by maybe 100-200ish. how would i go about doing that. and if i have to buy it what would be a price estimate?TboneStone

1. You can't increase your RAM by "100-200ish" that's not the way RAM works. RAM is installed in multiples of 8mb chips. So you can add 8, 16, 32.... 256, 512, 1024, 2048 megabytes of RAM.

2. However, the amount you are allowed to add is determined by your motherboard make/model, and how many DIMM slots you have open. DIMM slots are the long black (or colored) slots next to your CPU, you will already have a stick or two in them, and maybe 1 or 2 free slots.

3. Prices of RAM vary depending on how much you want to install, typical RAM upgrades are 512mb, 1024mb, or 2048mb depending on how much RAM you already have installed. And it varies by what type of RAM you have (DDR, DDR2).

4. Go to Crucial.com and run their System Scanner tool and post any relevant specs pertaining to how much RAM you have, and any other information about your computer.

5. And while you are busy with all that, take a read of this for information on how to install RAM.

lol ok. ya i'm pretty noob at computer stuff but everyone is at one point right? i'm getting into computer gaming more so i'll learn this stuff. idon't really know why i said 100-200 haha..i read up on RAM and realize how stupid that sounded.i guess512 MB or even 1024MB more RAMwould be good for me. i have windows XP and right now i have 960 MB of RAM which i guess isn't that much, but most current gen games don't require more than a gig of ram do they? i'm not all about running games at full capacity i just like them to run well without lag/crappy framerate, etc. whats an approximate price for 1024MB of RAM?
