Did anyone switch to xp and notice lag while playing gr? I have noticed it alot lately. Each mod lags in the same way. Its not bad, just not as smooth as when I used 98.

I have been playing GR on XP for about 6-7 months..and really havent seen anything different from 98SE(previous OS)
XP is a memory HOG not sure how your sytem ranks against the Demon Cobra has, but that may have something to do with it? Just my thoughts, can't give you much more than my opinion.
Besides...you should be busy building models, teh only reason to even run that little GR.exe shoud be to take screenshots of the afformentioned MODELS to post in this forum...
These should help ease your pain, slow you down so the "lag"doesn't bother you so much

LOL, Well first of all, thats the problem, Im not playing online, the lag Im speaking of is in single player.
Secondly, I have so much spare time in between weapons from you, and we wont even mention the ellusive coco (who hasnt been seen in like three weeks), I have to play the game so I dont forget what it is

Mac, I noticed lag with GR after loading it onto a friend's machine after loading it up with XP. Play with the settings in GR by lowering the detail on the trees, turning off shadows, etc, and see if it helps. XP is more "resource hungry" and leaves you with less to work with. What processor are you running and how much ram?

550 Mhz is a little low for stellar performance outta XP. Minimum I tell people is 600mhz for it, but if you don't have a 64 meg video card or above, switching up to one will help a lot. Wouldn't hurt to go up to around 512 RAM either, heh heh did you tell I make comission on upgrades?

So I have a question? Forgive my ignorance...
I have a P4 2.26
512 MB DDR,PNY 64MB_DDR ti4200
80GB, yadda yadda..
Currently running XP Home, how much increased performance will I get if I switch to Win2K Pro?
Coco? Mac?

Well Im not sure if you would notice any with that system you have. I was amazed at how much xp sucked up performance on my machine though. Ive never had a problem using 98, I lasted for about a week with xp and yanked that sucker off. I use Win2000 now and Im perfectly satisfied.
But thats my experience, Im sure you have no lag though. I think its time for me to upgrade
