Upgrade and NL

I recently boosted my processor from a 533 to a 1.6ghz, and I noticed that NL is getting steady framerates w/ the dips being at 25-30... It also seems to run through the track too fast. When I was riding one of the woodie coasters that comes with the game, I had to slow the speed down to 50% to make it seem right. Is this noraml??

Odds are before the coasters were running too slow due to your under powered computer at the time. You are now seeing the coasters run at the right speeds.

The other thing I've noticed is now when I click on any vertice in the editor, it blanks out all the grid dots for about 10 meters above & below the point, and all the way across the screen from side to side. This goes away when I click somewhere on the grid besides the vertex or try to move the slider bar. Also...on coasters where this happens, the track in the simulator appears extremely jagged... I don't know why...and it bugs me.

Maybe time to upgrade the drivers on your new computer's graphics card?

well, that's just the thing - I did upgrade everything...the new graphics card is on the motherboard....I don't even have the old video drivers....this is very strange...

do you mean that the graphics card is intergrated with the motherboard

yeah - a lot of computers come with integrated video processing. in any event, I don't have the money to but a separate graphics card, and when I'm getting steady 75-80 fps, I really don't see a need to have an offboard graphics card

yeh but your onboard graphics card will propably have shared resuorces! what type of adaptor is it
sis, nforce ,intel

Wow, you've got a pretty slow com. Even at 1.66 ghz, it still seems slow, considering that mine is at 2.66, haha. Why not get someone to build a com for you? It's alot cheaper when they order parts online. You can get a 3.5 or 6 ghz com at only $600.
