I was thinking about the ATI X1950. Anyone running that card with a P4 3.0 ?
How does Pirates run? Right now I have to play in 800*600 with medium settings and even then Port Royal is laggy and when you board a ship its ridiculous!
Any advice?

do you run servers? if not then why p3 id wrather have the AMD with the constant power level instead of the fluxuations with p3.
your first problem might be your ram, 1gb is cool but 2 gb sets you free in any game and situation. with game running your pc is prob over 60% processing... thats might be why your slow....
(ps pirates does not depend on your pc much if you read there tech files they setup the game to run the same speed for everyone *to avoid people from taking advantage of certin programs
*verry little depends on your cpu. assumming you meet the requirements with your pc *wich it looks like*)
Now on to ATI i WAS an ATI fan untill they sold out. so your not buying ATI cards anymore just the name... and the new ones they are *censored* even though i dislike nvidia they are making some amazing cards now a days .
i go through cards like candy but i usually buy two Geforce 7800's + and run them togeather for amazing stabality. ( dont know if you can crossfire... on your mother board)
Or look into the Fatalty series *lifetime guarantee*
hope it helps... sorry about my english
