I know this is not a gaming computer, but i know that it can athleast run these games. Some other games (Hitman 2, Max Payne 1 & 2, C6C Generals Zero Hour etc.) run fine.

My desktop resolution is 1024x768 pixels, what do you guys think is the problem?

Don't go for cracking the game. It's illegal.
But as werner said, get a dedicated GPU. If you're not a hard core gamer, then I'd go for a cheap card, like a GT240 or HD 5670.

 

[HEXiT]

your gfx possibly doesnt support the shader model required. so is likley to be causing the issues.

 

[Gman450]

I dint see he had a AGP x2 x4 slot. If that's the case , then go for a FX5900 or a FX 5500. Anything like that would be good for playing MW and UG2. But if you plan on playing any other graphically intensive games, then I'd suggest you build another PC.

Thanks for the help guys. Anyway, i gave up on the pc. Most probably, ill get myself a ps2. I think it is the best solution plus i prefer consoles over pcs.

PS2 ? Why not a PS3 ? Are you more into old games ?

PS2 ? Why not a PS3 ? Are you more into old games ?

hah. I'd buy it if i had the money

 

[Gman450]

hah. I'd buy it if i had the money

So why not save and then buy the PS3. It will definitely be worth it.

 

[Crisstoff]

hah Last month I bought a ps3 but sorry to say that I lost this a few days ago

 

[Gman450]

You lost your PS3 ?
Also, why are signed in, on another newly created account ?

haha that is NOT my profile. This is my only one.

 

[Gman450]

haha that is NOT my profile. This is my only one.

Then who was that ?

 

[just_haris]

Then who was that ?

Well, I don't know. Maybe it was just someone who wanted us to know that he lost his ps3 and that i could too -_-'

 

[Gman450]

Well, sorry for the wrong assumption.

I thought it was you because you always added the "hah" before a post.

 

[just_haris]

you always added the "hah" before a post.

hah, what? Who, me?

 

[Gman450]

hah, what? Who, me?

Your issue's solved right ? Not exactly solved, but you've decided to go for a PS2.

 

[just_haris]

Sure. I got one off Ebay for like, 50$. It works wonderful *__*

 

[Gman450]

So you've already bought the PS2 ?
