    hey guys i recently bought a new samsung 943BWX monitor - widescreen and my pc specification are as follows

    2.53Mhz Intel P4
    512 MB DDr 333
    Nvidia Geforce fx5200 128 MB

    now im playing counterstrike and when i change the settings to widescreen mode the gameplay response become very slow i move the mouse 1 second later it happens on the screen, but when i change it to normal 800 x 600 d3d mode everything is perfect. how is it possible to make it run smoothly on widescreen mode? thanks a lot for any help

    Well its because of your graphics card - it sucks to be honest lol.

    Try picking up a 7600 from nvidia.

    by that i asum you mean processer but if it is then its intel at the moment
    the Intel Core 2 Duo E8400 looks good £133.09 - dabs.com or the Intel Q6600 Core 2 Quad 2.4GHz £142.12 - Aria Technology Ltd
    hope this helps
