Hi everyone,

I have just finished setting up a small compatibility test - I was able to get Muvizu to run on a PC that I originally bought in 2002 - with 1GB of DDR1 Ram and and AMD 3000+ Processor - less powerful than most mobiles released in the last 1-2 years.

The reason it works is that I bought a ATI 3650 AGP card - which has all of the necessary pixel shader support etc. - it cost me £40 and I think it's a worthwhile stopgap for those users who have older machines.

Muvizu is usable - the framerate isn't great but I am sure that I will be able to tweak the performance a little to get some more oomph out of my current PC's granddad.

I will post performance figures at some point in the next few days - I have been working crazy hours over the last few weeks so haven't been able to get on the forums or use Muvizu as much as I want to.

Take it easy,
-Jim


Cheers Jim

I can vouch for that video card.
I have one on my old pc since the motherboard doesn't have PCI slots.
It's the best AGP card out there and I don't think there will be one better.

Cheers,
