Well, I've figured out the problem and now am working on a viable solution. The ATI 3D Rage Pro AGP card has only 4M of RAM which means it doesn't meet the MS minimum spec of 16M. I tried an 8M card and get better results, but still not perfect. I am now shopping for a "new" PCI video card.

Your entire machine is too small for Freelancer.

Need minimum of 600 MHZ prossessing power.(1.5 ghz or better is best) A TnT2 based video chipset or better (Geforce3 or better is best here) Have a minimum of 256 megs of ram in the machine (512 much better).

You can get a 1.5gig athelon and Mobo for about $250 if you know where to look.
A low end GeForce 4 card for about $100 and the memory (512 meg chip 133 MHZ sdram) for between 60 and and $100 depending on where you live.


As a rule name brand computers are NOT good gaming machines.

Nog: I dunno what your smoking but I can get a mobo and processor combo for about $140 with a XP 1800+.
