FRAME RATE, Low Frame Rate need help Options

[Doyle]

I am experiencing problems that I am hoping someone may know something that could help me.

Here is the problem:

On the average my fps is 20-22fps. When close to someone else or with lots of activity going on it will even drop to single digits.

It is especially frustrating when I come up against someone that is getting decent fps. More times than I care to remember I have come up against someone and have them cold turkey dead to rights. I open on them first but they can turn and even kill me and they don't have a scratch. Now... before someone says improve my marksmanship.. please don't go there.



Here is the equipment that I am running:

Gateway E-3600

Windows XP Pro SP3

Intel P4 1.50 gig processor

8k primary mem cache

256k secondary mem cache

40.02 Gig Hard drive (with 20gigs free)

100 meg Bus Clock

Intel Bios

768 Megs Memory

Dell 24" wide angle monitor 1920x1440 res

RADEON X850Pro 256Meg GDDR3 memory



If anyone can help me I would really appreciate it.



Thanks everyone
