amd and metal of honor
I have an AMD k6-2 500mhz, 265mb ram, tnt2 pci
When i play metal of honor allied assult it is verrrry slow and unpayable.
yet when i try it on my pII 333, 196mb, voodo 2 with an 8 mb intel vga card. But it seems if i put the tnt in to the 333 it will play fine.
i can play it. it is not fas and sux but is more payable than the amd. is there a patch which will improve play i heard there was an amd patch but am not to sure

i dont think so, but i would either close this thread and start it in the games forums, or request a mod to move it for you.
good luck.,
but my advise, use the p2 333 as i noticed the same thing with Quake 3 and that.

Did you try to update your VIA or AMD chipset drivers and get the detonnator drivers from nvidia to see if changes performance ??

Nvidia cards do not play well with AMD chipsets. they work over hard and get very hot. Anyhow, I do have a game that I played on my AMD and actually had to go to older drivers. 12.41 drivers. I would give that a shot as well.

People this is expected performance. The K6-2 chokes, and i mean badly chokes on high polycounts.

Like everyone one else, i would suggest a complete driver update. If you can, find new drivers for everything that should help alot.

agreed. K6-2 procs have always had chumpy frame rates in 3d games compared to p2s of equivalent or even slower clock speeds. nothin you can do about it...

Have to agree. I am a big fan of AMD processors, but the K6/2 series weren't the best for games. They were designed with business applications in mind. It wasn't until the Athlon and it's 3 fully pipelined floating point units that they got the nod for 3D games.
