Choppy video play

[joe giraffe]

Hi,

When I attempt to play any type of video or video games at full screen
or doublesize resolution, the display becomes slow and choppy.

Is there a way to check whether this is due to the computer being slow
or due to videocard incompatibility?

My friend who gave me the PC says it's the latter case, but I am not so
sure. The PC is a Pentium II 333 MHZ, with a 128 RAM, which I believe is
quite slow to run WinXP.

Anyone have any suggestion for checking?

Thank you.

Considering P4 processors are now over 3.3GHz (the .3 being what you have), I
doubt it's the latter too!

It's about the bare minimum specs for running XP.... and you're trying to
play games and videos.

Do yourself a favor. Donate the PC to your local Goodwill store and save up
for something a little faster!

Or remove XP and go back to Windows 98se or ME.
