My son has Morrowind on his computer, I had to get him a 128mb videocard and an ultrafast cd drive. Heh, it was worth it though, the game runs smooth. He builds his own plug ins so he has all kinds of cool stuff.
Does your son do 3D modaling too?

What card? I'm sort of frustrated with the performance of my Radeon 9600 (plain old, not Pro or XT)... But then, $100 video cards are always sorta cheap.

PNY Quadro FX2000...
Just kidding...(like I have $1,000 to spend on a video card)

Sapphire Radeon 9800 Pro. Worth every penny.

Huh. I got a 9600, non-Pro; I guess the difference is pretty substantial. On the other hand, now that I know to run at 1280x960 instead of 1600x1200, it's pretty livable.

I have a 7800 (which is really a 7500 with better GL drivers) in my laptop, I should see how that does.

your Cd Rom has a lot to do with it too. We found out accidentally. I got him a super speed drive and the game smooted Waaaay out

CD? I don't use no stinking CD! I have the "disk" in GameDrive, so I don't have to cart disks around.

Just running around the first couple of cities. It's pretty smooth if I set my display for 1280x960, pretty bad if I try to do 1600x1200, just plain pathetic if I try to turn on the TRUFORM spline stuff (using a plugin prog). I mean, like, 3-5 fps. I guess the thing to do is just play with that stuff off at a lower resolution for now, then get a new video card in a year or two.

Yeah, it seems like you would need a water-cooled, mega-gaming machine to get it just right. We can dream, right?
I took the cheap way out and bought an Xbox. ;) Looks great and smooth as silk.

I have a friend that does that.

I absolutely love GameDrive. Unfortunately, there are now some "copy-protection" schemes it can't seem to trick, so I have to download cracks.

There is deep irony to the need to download cracks to play a game you spent $50 on.

Yeah, at what, 640x480? :)

Maybe when I'm rich I'll be able to get a better gaming machine. Looks like the game is now entirely GPU-bound; the CPU is sitting idle.

I really wish Bethesda would release patches for the last couple of bugs - crash to desktop on loading saved games, and the bugs with DontThreadLoad=0. If they fixed those, the game would be a lot smoother.
