Starfire

Can anyone verify if the new 186.18 drivers also work? Or do we definitely have to use 182.50?

Thanks, Bulldogs. My monitor's native resolution is 1440x900, so I will be trying to run it at that resolution. I think I shall do as you suggest (add 2gig ram + buy new video card) and hope it turns out well!

Hi guys. Thanks for all the replies. Much appreciated! Whether I upgrade this system more comprehensively will depend if I can find a full-time job within the next couple of months. (Just about to graduate from university. Bad timing eh..) My motherboard limits what I can upgrade my cpu to, and I really don't want to spend the cash to upgrade both my cpu and motherboard right now, so I guess I'm stuck with the e6600/AB9 combo. Pufu's testing results are somewhat worrying, though. If that is true, I would get no improvement whatsoever from upgrading my videocard? That sounds... incredible. I wonder if this would be due to cpu-bottlenecking, or something in the coding that would be eventually fixed.

Also says in the Steam FAQ that the Steam version is 100% compatible with mods and addons.
