xlsior - The tests I've been doing are just on the menu screen of the game I'm currently working on. There is a background image, a logo and some text (drawn using the font/text commands) and some music playing. So, it's not really doing that much.
The game itself is not really that complicated either - it's a board game.
I am wondering if drawing text is contributing to the slowdown. It's difficult to test since I can only test on this old PC a few days a week.
My current way of thinking is that if a 3D graphics card is a requirement then it should have enough memory to run the game.
Dreamora - I see your point about bandwidth etc. but I think it would be fairly safe to assume that a 3D card should be able to run most Max games (especially the sort I am doing).
Link1426 - interesting that you can run stuff ok. I guess it's down to the hardware of the on-board graphics?
