My config: Asus M2N-E (570 ultra), GF8600GT, Vi$ta Ultimate 64-bit

I could still play original UT with latest patch. The turning
is a bit too fast though... I nearly lost my sense of direction.

Grab the dual-core optimiser program from AMD's site, makes a massive
change to UT99.

I'm running 4400 X2, 7600gt on nvidia chipset. UT99 was unplayable
before, ran that widget, perfect since.

Been playing UT2004 lately. Different motherboard, even faster
processor, second GeForce 9600gt, but this one's by Asus. Still not
SLI. Still had problems, but realized it was running way too fast.
Got the optimiser, and it worked for a second, then I did something
that turned the screen pitch black. I was hitting Function keys,
trying to find the screen to switch teams. I think it did something
odd to the monitor, because the system's boot screen has huge text.

Seems strange to me that my parents' systems aren't having the same
problems. They're running 4200 x2s, I believe. My dad's system has
an Ati X1550. I think my mom's has an X1050. My dad's had the same,
but it died young. I don't have any problem playing on those systems.

Guess it's a good thing I didn't upgrade the video cards like I wanted
to. I'll have to put some more thought into what I'm going to get for
them.
