[QUOTE="NickName, post: 142072, member: 21675"] Hi JohnJonson, Your main problem is RAM. XP requires 256meg RAM just to run itself BEFORE you think about running any programs (like MP). You need at least 512 meg although 1 gig is better if you want minimise drive usage. It's never going to perform well with 128meg and the graphics card needs to support DirectX 9 as well. I don't remember if a GeForce 440 MX supports DirectX 9 but as I think it was released well before DirectX 9 existed, I doubt it does. Sadly I don't really buying RAM is an option as it will be really expensive for an old system like that. Maybe you can get 2nd hand RAM from a market or recyclers? I bet your hard drive is being thrashed the whole time is running and it takes forever to boot? NOTE; I have a 1GHZ pentium running MP but it has 512meg RAM so it performs (just) 'OK'. [/QUOTE]
