[BlahBlahBlah]

Ok, What is fps i see once in a while and how do I check what my computers fps is. And what is good and if mine is bad how would i fix it

450 pentuim celeron
256 ram

Depends on what game your playing. Counter Strike has settings where you can adjust the FPS

Dement,
Actually Im playing Team fortress and counter strike. Where can you change this?(the fps) Is it actually in game or somewhere else

I play Quake 3. I have the Voodoo 5500 with a 850 Athalon. My FPS reaches over 300 on some areas of some maps. On Quake it has the FPS capped at 90, so if you type: /com_maxfps 300

it will raise it to 300

P.S. The Celron will limit your FPS in Quake, not sure about the other games. Moniter size also makes a difference.

o ya, fps is frames per second. basicly your frame rate is crappy if games look jittery, and its really crappy if the game looks like a slide show, if you wanna fix it, you gotta get a better graphix card (but that will only do so much), or buy a new comp, just dont get an nvidea riva they suck get a gforce 2 or three (preferably 3 :])
