turn your settings down. if you have AA on, turn it off or down to 2x. If you have anistropic filtering, turn it off. Turn texture details down too, and shadows off. basically set it to the lowest settings everywhere except in the resolution. Then start turning settings back up until you find something with good FPS that still looks decent. Razor wrote:Killing people is good therapy.

Ok, here's the deal with ram, I can understand why you left your 512mb stick in your system but might I ask as to why when 2gb of ram is more than enough? What your probably experiencing is your mobo trying to compensate for the new ram in your system, if one of your ram chips is slower than another then your mobo will adjust all of them to the same speed. So, if the new ram you have is faster than the old one you have then I suggest just taking out the 512 stick and test the system out after that, you should see a nice increase in speed. Besides, most mobo's only like to run ram in singles or in pairs, and another thing, NEVER mix match ram for your system, if you have one set of ram in your system then go with "The EXACT same chips" or you WILL be running into problems later on.

Have you tried reformatting the hard drive? You should be more like Cantrip.  Twitchy: "I pulled a Cantrip . . ." GivePeaceAChance: "If the Tempest had nipples, I'd pinch that shit." Xylicon: "I'm about to deliver my [Richard] in your face for posting that stupid shit. " WDF?: "He keeps reaming me... night after night... I'm rather sore." GivePeaceAChance: "OMG MY NIPS ARE HARD" llenta: "cantrip, you fail!!!" Filliam H. Muffman: "i'm on top of dick"

Remove the 512 stick and stay with the 2 gigs, having 3 sticks in your system is probably what's causing the problem. Most motherboards out there don't like having an odd amount of memory modules in them.

any suggestions Funny, no mention it was 2 256mb sticks......if thats the case then do this. Open case, remove the 2 256mb ram chips, go to trash can, toss sticks into trash. LoL
