I'm planing to install NS on my second computer.
It is a:
Pentium II 400mhz
128MBram (used to have 384, but I took it to my new computer)
TNT2 Ultra Gamer
30GB
That's about what you need to know.
But my question is, will the game run good on this? Will I have a good framerate?
You may wonder why I don't play on my other computer, but that is because my two other brother's use it alot and I don't have so much time to play on it before they kickban me from it. But I use this computer alot... the old one.
Thanks for reply.

update any out of date drivers,
make sure that harddrive is pretty fast,
If half life runs fine,then its prolly good to go
before i got my 2.8ghz bad boy i played NS on a 633 Celeron with 128 mb ram 13 gb hard drive. and onboard intel 810 gfx...
Got a problem with that, don't have the money. <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif'><!--endemo-->
<b>2. "make sure that harddrive is pretty fast"</b>
Oh, it is pretty fast thought.

Well, HL runs pretty good with this computer. I just played through Opposing Force, HL and Blue-Shift and they worked well. But I got some slowdowns when it came to big open areas with a lot of enemys.
Also when I fighted against 4-5 marines/aliens it became pretty unstable. But it worked though.
Thanks for your time.
Slowdowns or not, I'm gonna test NS out.
20fps? That is good enough. Thanks.
It's "Installing NS"
Nope, not in Natural-Selection. At least not until 1.1.
You see, in Natural-Selection, many in-game actions are tied to your framerate... Like building structures, refueling of jetpack... Even firing speed. This will be fixed in version 1.1, but until then, framerate matters.
So what is to be done? Tweak. Lower res, run in 16-bit colour, increase memory given to HL, run with bilinear filtering and no aniso filtering. Etc.

You need a Pentium II 400 mhz machine CPU (or equivalent non-Intel), 32 megabytes of RAM and any graphics accelerator supported by Half-life. Software rendering support is planned for the future, but not until a future release of Half-life. You also need an internet connection, a keyboard and a mouse. Windows 95 and above are supported. Lastly, you'll need a copy of Half-life or Counter-strike retail. If your machine runs one of these well, it should run Natural Selection comparably.<!--QuoteEnd--></td></tr></table><span class='postcolor'><!--QuoteEEnd-->

If I'm gonna to test 1.1, then it will be on my other computer for sure. Not this one.
And I already fixed so I play with 16-bit and so on. Tested it out, runs smooth. But with some slowdowns like I said before.
