Ok, well every since I have had this computer, it has been running quite well. Until I started messing with certain things. About a week ago, I was wondering why it takes about 5 minutes to get smoothe in certain games, such as BF2, and GRAW. So I put more ram in..like 2 gigs.. Only 1 Gig was what my motherboard speed is..the other 2 sticks were pc2700.. well it fixed my game lag when i got in in BF2, but graw still takes a sec. Which leads me to think it might be my pagefile. KTR suggested i make a pagefile, he said that would make it run better, and faster in games. It helped a little, but didn't make no performance boost really, so i deleted it.. Now I don't know what the partition should be when I go to Start>Control Panel>System>Advanced>Change. (See Attachment on Pagefile screeny). So as you can see in the attachment, I have it set to System managed size. Every since I have messed with those to things, I have already lost quite a few FPS in certain games. I don't know what is going on.:shadedshu
GAMES AND MY COMPUTER VS. MY FPS
CS:S---28FPS-85FPS..AROUND 50AVG. :shadedshu
BF2---45FPS-90FPS..AROUND 60-65 AVG.
G.R.A.W---35FPS-65FPS..AROUND 50 AVG.
F.E.A.R---50FPS-140FPS..AROUND 70 AVG.
Some games play better than others according to how much ram they take of course..but once my computer has fully loaded the map after like 20 minutes, I will hit some spikes.. That is why I am thinking it is my HD partition.
Now going by those FPS, im sure you figured out that those are good. But in every game, I was getting at least like 20 more on the max, and 10 more on the avg. So that is why I started this thread. I am loosing FPS from nothing that I have really did.
Thing I think it might be
HD partition
Internet connection
Video Card drivers
Ram of Course
The only things I have messed with was the HD partition in my system control panel. So I was wondering if you guys have any ideas on what I can do to fix this.
Please list all your details on how I can check my whole computer to see what is going on. Sry that I didn't really post enough information, I am in sort of a rush, I have quite a-lot of homework to get done tonight.
Please post up guys.
