Hi All,
I'm new to these forums, I've been reading the site for a while and thought this the perfect place to help me fix some current issues.
It seems that the performance of my pc is just not what is should be. I have:
Athlon xp 3500+
1 gig DDR ram
Geforce 6800 GT 256meg (agp)
K8N Neo2 Platnium Mobo (onboard ac97, nvidia lan and realtek gigabit lan)
200gig SATA western digital HDD
I have just installed Quake 4, COD II and Rome - Total War (and old fav). The problems I'm having is that Q4 runs like a total bag of poo, COD II seems to run fine and Total War plays for about 3 minutes then crashes.
I have the latest drivers for the videocard, and have just done a 100% clean install of windows, DX9.0c installed too.
Basically I think that my system, especially my video card, should be able to handle quake 4, however I am getting serious chugging even on the lowest possible settings whenever there is a little action on the screen.
Does anyone have any tips for that game, and my system in general, to get me working a bit better?
Thanks,
Jim
