its unlikely to be related to your CPU or video card. i'd check soundcard, or something bottlnecking it (as i said, HDD, antivirus, and so on.)

make sure any programs that interfere like fraps or x-fire are disabled as well.

you will have both 32 bit and 64 bit but you can only use one either the 32 or the 64

he can use whichever one he wants, so long as its on the same PC (well, one PC at a time) - he could dual boot 32 and 64 bit, should he want to, for example.

I had to switch back to XP on this machine just to be able to game again, No thanks to Nvidia and their greed to pull Vista support at the last minute on NF2 and NF3 users, I would love to beat the piss out of the marketing person behind this crap. Trust me this is the last Nvidia product I will ever Own.

Dude, it's expecting a little much to support a chipset that released in 2002-2003. That's at least 7 years. Vista was a little soon on the cutting support, I agree, but expecting 7 to have it is just silly.

Windows 7 Tip of the Day: CMD Commands Don't Work Fix

If you are unable to use commands at the command prompt (CMD) type Path at the command prompt and see what directories shows up. If windows;windows/system32 aren't there you will need to type system path at start's search box. Select environment variables button. Look down at the System variables and scroll it down until you see Path. Edit it to read C:\Windows;C:\Windows\system32
Sve the settings and reopen CMD. Now you should have access to commands normally found in system 32 like Ping, Tracert, Ipconfig, etc.

Service Pack 1 will be just cumulative of all released updates. Perhaps some improvements around Wi-fi, USB 3, blue tooth, but not much. It will also have WAT included for all.

whats WAT?

and yes, its always nice when service packs include drivers... especially RAID and ethernet/wifi ones.


i suppose USB 3.0 drivers would be nice too, so that the ports will work from the getgo.

WAT= Windows Activation Technologies a sort of improved WGA which took just as short a time to be cracked as WGA did TBH i don't know why M$ still bothers trying to stop hacking cracking and patching windows7

and yes more Raid drivers would be nice Like Marvels or Silicon Image two of the most used raid controller chips on desktop class mobo's and yet im still forced to provide a driver at install time but don't despair if you have some 10yr old POS adaptech scsi card windows 7 has a driver for that LOL yeah nice one M$
