I am lagging on certain plugs..such as Mazz. What do I need:
Better CPU (currently a AMD Sempron 3300+ 2.0GHz OEM Processor)
More RAM, I only have 1 stick in. Kingston..I actually forget what I put in. It is 1 gig I think. 333 or 400mhz.
Next year I am building a new PC, so I am not planning on spending a lot on this one.

Had a old mac..went to PC for the games. I may go back to Mac..but currently I have this PC I use for games and internet..
so going out and buying a new mac would solve my problem....
but I am not throwing out the cash this year.
Hence the question I asked..which do I need to run Myth smoother?
Thx for your answer though, it helped a lot!

It's actually not Myth, just your reaction time...
Something is amiss if you are lagging with those specs though...perhaps to many other things running chewing up ram? Or perhaps connection lag?

Thx Sharp....I don't get it really. My 7 year old laptop doesn't bug..but this one does. Like I said..only on certain plugs..about 10 minutes into Mazz..about 5 minutes into Keep.
thx again.

Hmm, I think he's merely having a glitch. Mb it's the driver to the video card that needs changing, or mb it's the type of card, I don't know.
But I know this: I never have that kind of lag on my old dual G4 450Mhz with only 16MB video card (can you believe it?). Haven't done Mazz on that lately, but Keep, sure, and never a problem. So I think it's a bug-type thing, incompatible card or old drivers.
That old G4 has a 4.4 GB plugin folder, so that takes care of that theory, too.
Also, the FPS are not set to max out at 30, so it tries and tries to go as many fps as possible, and still none of the problems experienced on iceyeti's much newer machine, above, that is having such dire problems.
Mb all this points to the "get a Mac" theory!
My dual 2.0Ghz G5 is even better  1680x1050 res playing Myth is sweet!
PS, Zagon, you must have a 20" iMac -- there's no 19" one.

NVIDIA GeForce 6200
256MB
64-bitDDR II
That is my video card...pretty basic. I will try the 30fps..I didn't know you could change that. It usually tells me it is around 300 up in the corner.

I do have the lastest 1.6 and I still don't have that box. I installed classic and not windowed..perhaps that is why?
I have bugs with the windowed version.

Yes. What version of Windows are you using? If you have issues with the windowed version then you probably don't have Windows XP.
You mean you have to choose between two different versions of Myth in order to have windowed mode? That's weird. ...If you need to install an entirely different application just to have windowed mode, I have no idea what's going on.
Macs also have two different versions of Myth2 to pick from, not just Window users. It is not two things to install but one or the other just like Mac users as well.
Mb it is time for anew computer, like Zagon said
Never!

It is my impression that the two versions for Mac are for either PowerPC processor machines (processors made by IBM and Motorola), or the Intel-based machines (processors made by, well, Intel). The two require different code.
I don't think there's a version for a windowed mode, and a separate version for a non-windowed mode. What is the reason for that on the Windows side?

I do have XP..I installed windowed version of 1.6 and couldn't Gesture click....I think it was Iron that told me to install the classic.
GC worked fine after I reinstalled it with classic.
I am installing another stick of RAM today..so I will have 2 gigs. If this doesn't help..I am quitting Myth for 1 day.

There are two builds. One that says Myth II 1.6 and that says Myth II 1.6 (Universal). Both will run under PPC and Intel. Only the Universal build, however, is compiled to run under Intel and PPC. So why even bother having a specific PPC build and separate build that runs on both architectures?
I don;t know if it's an OS or a hardware limitation, but I am not able to run the Universal Build on a G3 PPC Mac with OS X 2.8. I doubleclick it and it does the visual zoomy thing then nothing. No startup screen, no bomb, nothing in the myth_log.txt file. Nada.
I am very happy there is a PPC only build.

hmmm.... I may have gotten that backwards.... I forget which version won't work for me. But one of them doesn't work on my OS X mac. I think it's the UNiversal that _does_ work.

As long as we've touched on Windowed Mode, I'll share what I have available on this version of Myth. I'm running the PPC version (1.8 MB, as opposed to the 10+Mb for the Universal version) on ye olde G5 with OS X 10.5.
I actually have a couple options for windowed gaming on Myth, which I can choose from within the Myth application.
Here's what I do and see for windowed mode:
Launch Myth with Option held down, bringing up the sort of pre-Myth dialog box shown below (Myth has always as long as I've known it had this dialog box available in this way, but the options have grown with the updates).
Choose Windowed Mode in the dialog box above and hit OK
Now I'm in Myth. Go to Preferences and do NOT choose Windowed mode, see below.
Also note the Max FPS box.
This allows me to play in full screen, but have the window when I'm in the pre-game, post-game, and in the lobby. It's the best. Full-screen play, windowed in between games. So I can surf the web while people babble at me. (Not really, I pay attention!)
