It could be that there are still some small bugs in the hardware.
The stuff I have in my computer that could give problems:
ATI Radeon 9700
A-Open AK77-333 Motherboard with Athlon xp 2000+ chip
512MB PCI2700 DDR RAM[
Dunno what other hardware might cause problems with the game. *Points and laughs*
Are you planning on overclocking, or was that pair made for a bottleneck? :p
Otherwise, nice system. Very nice, especially the video card.

Are you planning on using that for overclocking, or, as I suspect, did the bright lights and big numbers blind you? :p Just in case you're interested, an Athlon XP runs with a 266MHz effective bus speed; PC2700 DDR SDRAM runs at a dual 166MHz FSB; 333MHz. Using it on any system but a P4 is pointless...unless you're overclocking, in which case you can be comfortable with pushing your bus speed up without hurting you mobo or RAM. I hope you got a nice HSF with that though :)
Nice system, BTW, especially the Radeon 9700. Makes my Ti4200 look pathetic...lucky sod. :thumb:

Somebody kill the orang-utan responsible for IE6.

I am making a kewl casemod, with lights and everything and a liquid cooling system (offcourse). When my casemod is finished I am planning to overclock it, but I never did something like that so I need to find information about overclocking 1st.
I know that I can set the Voltage and clockratio in the BIOS, but I think it's more then that. So if anyone of you can help me out for some information sites??
btw (now don't call me a moron or something:rolleyes:) but what means HSF???
:ebil: EvolGrinZ:ebil:

HSF = Heatsink Fan. The big lump of copper/aluminium sitting on your processor, or, in your case, not. Watercooling replaces one very nicely (although I'd really, really rather not risk a leak...).
The exact overclocking tools available to you depends on your motherboard and on how much you want to risk voiding your warranty and annihilating your PC. The simplest is just upping the FSB, but unless you can set the AGP slots etc independantly you're likely to run into some problems with your 3D card etc.
You can then up the voltage, as the faster the processor is running, the more power it requires, so...
Finally, the real madmen can take a soldering iron to their processor and connect the bridges, thus unlocking the multiplier. But this voids your warranty beyond any possible excuse.

I have a A-Open motherboard type AK77-333
There are some HUB jumpers on it too. Can I use them for overclocking?

Mibble. I don't know, I'm not exactly an expert, and I've never used that board myself. I suggest you check around on the 'net for information that's more specific to your hardware. HardOCP is a good place to start; (
