What do I need for Underground 2??

[Ytsejam]

Hi... after a long time of waiting, I've finally got NFS Underground 2.


Reading over the internet, I found this system requirements:
- Windows 98, 98 Second Edition, ME, 2000 Professional, XP
Professional, or XP Home operating system
- Intel Pentium III (or equivalent) CPU running at 933MHz or higher
- 32MB DirectX 9.0c compatible video card (Geforce2 or higher) using a
supported chipset
- 256 MB RAM

What I have:
- Windows XP Professional
- Intel Pentium IV at 2.53 GHz
- 128MB DirectX 9.0c video card (GeForce FX2500)
- 768 MB RAM

Well.. the point is I can't play it because it runs too slow!... and I
don't know why... anybody knows what can I do, please??

Greetings

Apart from the oldish graphics card, which too should be able to run ug2
at lower detail settings anyway, everything seems up to specs.

What resolution/gfx settings are you using?

Seems a little odd. Make sure you have both the latest graphics card
drivers and motherboard chipset drivers installed.

It won't be super fluent with that card, but atleast it should be well
playable.

If you have a motherboard with Intel chipset, get those drivers; If VIA
get 4in1's, if NForce get... and so worth.

Easiest place to find the correct ones if you are unsure is the
motherboard manufacturers (asus, msi, abit, etc...) website. Just need
to know the exact model of your motherboard.

Well, thanks!!

I've just updated graphics card driver and game runs a little faster...
Still slow, but playable.

Try Going To Options..Then Find "Graphic Sittings" or something like
tht(i Used To Play In In Pc So im not tht sure) and lower the
settings..lowering it all the way would help you play the game alot
faster!! Hope i was able 2 help :)
