Fallout 3 on a Socket 478 P4 2.4 GHZ

Hello. I was given an old P4 that I have been fixing up. I bought a 1 GB PCI graphics card. I have 2 GB of DDR PC3200 at 200 MHZ. 800X600 runs kind of OK. I am running XP. I was wondering what specific patches/mods & settings would be ideal for my particular situation. I am just doing this for fun. I have never played Fallout 3 and thought it would be fun on this machine. I have downloaded an unofficial patch and a windows live killer I am yet to install.

 

This is my graphics card.

 

Any advice would be appreciated. I'd be glad to provide more specific details about my set up. Thanks.

The game was made during Windows XP, so no special edits need to be made to the ini file to get the game running. I would however recommend installing a 4gb enabler, "IF" your windows XP is a 64 bit version. Not sure if that's the case though. This would allow you to run more graphics mods with your game. If not, I would stick to minimun graphics (textures), when modding your game. Otherwise you will experience crashing, due to lack of memory usage.

 

The game should detect the optimal graphics settings for you, during set up. I would also recommend using Fallout Stutter Remover as well as One Tweak. FSR is self explaining. One Tweak allows you to run your game in a fake windowed mode. These two mods will help make the game run a lot smoother. Both of these mods are available on the Nexus.

 

I would also recommend going to the FNV Nexus and downloading NVAC. This dll file will help make your game more stable and reduce ctd issues.

 

You may also want to consider using FOSE. A lot of mods out there require it to be installed, in order for them to work.

Good luck !!

 

Note: you will want to make sure that all of the above will work with windows XP. IE: download the proper version.
