I just don't have the HD space for a full linux distro at the moment. (I play with live cds though).

Favourite game BZFlag? If so, that's awful FPS.
Worst computer I've seen running ME:
AMD K4 122MHz
8MB RAM. Would have been 32MB but the 32MB part was broken
2GB hard drive. 5 1/2".
S3 Integrated Trio64+
It was given to me to try fix. Before I found out about the broken RAM and then wrote it off. Later investigated the CPU as well. It's now at the landfill.

AMD Athalon 64 3800+ X2 ( overclocked about 10% )
Gigabyte GA K8N Pro-SLI motherboard
2gb PC 3200 DDR ram in dual channel mode
Dual fanless nVidia GeForce 6600 PCI express video cards in SLI mode (overclocked about 15%)
80gb SATA 7200 RPM windows boot drive
200gb SATA 7200 rpm data drive
40gb ATA133 7200 rpm disk for an undiscoverd linux distrobution that works on the thing.
DVD Rom drive
DVD +R/ CDRW combo drive
Boston Acustics BA 735 pure digital speakers feed via direct SPIDIF out.
Griffin Tech. "iMic" USB sound card to run in game chat.
That case with a 480W replacement powersupply

A 5-yr old Dell Dimension
I've noticed a big jump in graphics performance in version 2.0.4. Probably because my graphics hardware is comparatively weak. I'm now getting 30 fps reliably.
Finally I can practice using Agility. FPS was too choppy before!
866 MHz P3
283 MB RAM
nVidia Riva TNT2
SuSe 9.1
Go Linux!

I see that somepeople here are running bzflag in laptops with a ati x700 mobile. Can someone tell me in your system, the quality level you can get with this video card?I'm asking you this because i have a toshiba laptop 1.86ghz with this card and bzflag selects for quality low quality with texture. I was expecting some more quality but i don't know if this is just me asking to mutch. Can a driver update improve this? Is it safe to update the manufacturer driver by the general ati drivers?
Thanks

You can bring the settings up there, more than likely your laptop can handle it. (It may use more battery, though...)
