I was thinking, that if you go into the "config.exe"--->Performace tab, you should be able to have more control over the "Particles On Screen" section. I mean, think about it, you could have Check Boxes for the following...
Burning SmokeDebris/ShrapnelFireAfter-Explosion Smoke
And a slider for the following...
BloodBullet Trail LengthSmoke and FireDebris
And some pre-sets, like High, Medium and Low (like now), so looking like this (sorry about the "Character Art";D)...

Particles On Screen

OHigh

[]Smoke

Blood
<-------------------------------|->
Bullet Trial Length
<-------------------------------|->
Debris
<-------------------------------|->
Smoke & Fire

Where the...

O is a radio button
[] is a Check box
<-------------------------------|-> is a slider bar
See what i mean?

Then just keep your settings turned down and get a job to buy a better computer?

This would probably be a a lot of extra programing for michal. Maybe you can just add an extra stick of ram to your pc?
