Well, I have just upgraded my PC (rubs hands together in glee) and I'm looking forward to trying the 3D effects. My system is:

KT7A RAID mobo
1.1 GHz Athlon processor
256 Mb RAM
Elsa Gladiac 920 graphics card (Geforce 3 chipset) http://www.ironworksforum.com/ubb/noncgi/smiles/338.gif

I don't think BGII, even in 3D, is likely to be the most spectacular graphics I will ever see, but I never got the thing for the graphics anyway.

I was unaware you could change from 3d to 2d. How is this done?

If its a case of going into the graphics menu in game just reply with random insults. As its all i deserve.

Nice one fella!!

There is a configuraton tool with bg2, which let´s you set 2d or 3d beside a lot of other things (it ca be selected in the bg2-folder in the start-menu or during startup of the game (choose configure instead of play).

Okay this post isn't towards the 2D or 3D cards but in regards to the people that posted about the game slowing down when they played it.

I use an Nec Versanote
PII 233mhz
64mb Ram
3.2gig HDD
NeoMagigraph Video Card
Maestro Sound card

I found BG2 to be a bit slow during gameplay and the battles (especially with magic use) really slowed down a LOT!

I changed my screen resolution to 640x480 and put the frame rate to 15 Updates per second while giving it a 400mb cache. That made the game pretty normal with very few slowdowns.

If anyone knows of any other way to speed the game up on a crappy comp like this I'd be glad to know of it. I have already checked everything that I can do and this seems the best of it but I'm always open to new ideas. After all most of you here have a ton of experience with this game while I am still new at it.

Fetch me another plaything. This one seems to be broken.
