Hello,

I just was wondering if there are any way to help get a better game play out of my computer. I have read and done all the cod tweaks listed on the forums, but still find the game a little laggy. Maybe I need to get a better vid card or more system memory. The system I have is:



Intel Pentium 4 3.4Ghz Dual Core

Asus P5LD2 Pentium 4 Motherboard

Intel Pentium 4 Colling Fan

1 GiG of DDR2 ram

250 Gig Hard Drive X 2

256 mb Nvidia Pci-e video card



This is from the bill but not sure about video card in system tray the property for the video comes up Geforce 6500.



I have a cable conection and do not see any spikes on the lago meter.



Any help will be apreciated.



Thanks,



CV

I sue end it all but I dont know it it will disable auto update. This ifs a good point because I believe several of the programes on the system use this function. My screen rez is around 1280 * 1024 will adjust and try out. I sont know if it matters but i'm running two monitors, 22" wide screen and a 17". I have, oo I cant think of the proper name, it on the screen to monitor the internet. frame rates are around 25 to 30 but when I get some action it droups down to 8.



I dont know much about computer so putting in one card I can do but two might be a problem.



The last computer I had built by a store kept shutting down and restarting and they looked at it several time and then said, "o sorry but you warrenty has run out". I ended up finding that when I wiggle the wires from the power supply to the mother board the system would shut down. Replaced the power supply but the problem seemed to be at the mother board connector. After that I alway tried getting the how to info and do the work myself.



Thanks for the input,
