Q: Did you do this for my son. It came from his system specs, but still performs horribly in low resolution mode has still.
He Athlon XP 3000
256 meg PC2700 speed ram
10 gig Maxtor 5400 GeForce 3 Ti200 harddrive
and 64 megs card
Are one of those things causeing the various graphical slowdown? It happens in combat, etc., and in fact everything from a slide show.
Will upgrading each one of these things cause at least stop the slide show and run in low resolution mode at least?
Re:Yeah, I'm thinking ram is the place to start.
I played it on a AXP 2000+ witha G4Ti200 (64MB) BUT 512MB of system ram. Played fine for me except in one part where a bunch of "robo soldiers" showed up at a guys ranch on that planet with flying mantarays (some NPC was trying to run away with teh rancher's daughter). I got a hardlock on that spot almost everytime.

Re:RAM is all you need.
The graphics card is fine.
Re:buy cheap 1GB RAM :! $80
buy cheap 6600 , x700 , 9800 anything below $100ish :!

512mb ram and a better video card
the AGP x850xt is $200 after $50 MIR at Microcenter . . . that'll "fix" it [plus another 256MB - minimum - more RAM]
i just got one to replace my now dead 9800xt [which ran KotOR just fine]

I just picked up this game, have not had time to play it any. Is it any good for an RPG?
;O
kotor is a real gem. kotor 2 was just okay, but kotor 1 was just a big box of happies.
Re:I'd get some more ram and try that out first if your on a budget….
Re:512mb ram and a better video card
Re:A 6600GT would let him run smoothly at 1024×768, though you might also need another 256 MB of RAM.
Re:A Radeon 9800 Pro worked pretty well for me, I had an Athlon XP 2400+, 1GB RAM.

Great game. Definitely at the top of my list along with the likes of Xenogears/Deus Ex. I didn't even like Star Wars but I enjoyed this game immensely. In fact I actually kind of like SW now because of this game

I liked it

Re:definetly more RAM…try to make it 1 gig, because he's not going to just stop at KOTOR.
Re:Like others have said, get atleast 512mb of ram and a 128mb vid card. I ran it with everything maxed out and 2xAA on 1024 athlon xp 2500+ and 512mb ram with a 5900.
Re:Look into more ram (have at least 512mb in there) and a new video card.
Give us your budget, we'll give you the best solutions.
Re:I agree. It's probably the video card, 256mb more RAM wouldn't hurt either.
just for comparison, KOTOR 1 ran perfectly on my XP 3200, 512MB of ram and a TI4200 at 1024×768 (or was it 1152xwhatever)
Re:Some more ram and a better video card would be suggested.
