My computer has developed a mainboard problem and I'll be offline for a bit. I had enough old parts lying around to put together a "Frankenstein" machine but it's not pwerful enough to run Crossfire [actually, I can but I have to run at the absolute lowest graphics settings and it looks like crap]. I'll be confined to the forums until I get a new computer....untill then, take care and fly safe.

The death of a computer can be a traumatic and frustrating experience, more so if that computer is the center of your "universe". My condolences and sincerest sympathys, because all of us go through the loss of a close personal computing friend at one time or another.
Hoping to see you in a new rig soon......

New parts have arrived from the deep space supplier! Now running an AMD Phenom II x4 3.2 GHz! Using the on-board video [ATI Radeon 4250 - 1GB] but it's way better than my junker which had an Intel P4 Celeron and 128 MB video. Back up to full speed resolution and no screen lag! Yay for me! Next month, picking up a 2BG video card and will be travelling at the speedof light! Woot!

Good to hear Rex!
But you're not gonna need a 2 Gb framebuffer video card to get the most performance,(especially for Freelancer) you want to pay attention to the GPU speeds/FLOPS it can do and the memory speeds instead.(and it might save you some cash as well with a cheaper card) Even my lowly 3850 HD AGP card will run Freelancer at 1680x1050 rez with little to no frameskipping and it's only got a 512 meg framebuffer. I see the Radeon 4250 HD is most likely an integrated on-board video card, is this correct Rex?Here's a great review site, with a comparison of my card and the Radeon 4350 HD card:

Hope this helps!
