FIXED my crashing problems AMD Athlon XP with Nvidia

[samstersam]

My game ALWAYS crashed after 10-15 minutes of playing, sometimes the computer would reboot and sometimes it would simply crash to the desktop.

Here are THREE things I did:

I have an ASUS motherboard a7v8x. I updated the bios to 10013, after reading that post 1009 bios versions improved "compatibility" with AGP video cards.

2nd: I updated the VIA 4 in 1 drivers to the latest one (something called like VIA 4 in 1 hyper something web update) from asus website.

I always thought that Windows XP never needed the 4 in 1 drivers and never installed them. On the asus website, previous 4 in 1 drivers never had that Windows XP link. So I never installed it. Upon recently visiting the asus website again, i saw these new updated drivers that had Windows XP link, so I clicked it and installed it.

3rd: The final thing i did was use the latest reference drivers from Nvidia instead of using ASUS drivers for my video card.

My game NEVER crashes now:, Athlon XP 2500+ with an nvidia geforce 5700, and 512 mb system RAM.
I hope this info helps some other people and hope to see more people online! This game is awesome as multiplayer...

I wanna know how good are the Graphics with the 5700 Le, cause I bought one just to play this game (had a Radeon 7000 yeesh) and wanna know ahead of time if I'll be able to play with more than just all my graphics set to low.

5700 LE is not a great card. You will be able to get away with having your graphics set to medium.
