I dont think that's it my Windows 7 installation is practically brand new. Also when I play, I use Game Booster so there arent any excess processes running in the background. I think this problem may be hardware related but I cant figure out which component is the problem

like the framerate goes high and then low but it mostly stays lower than it should. most games stay around 25 FPS when it really should be around 60.

Here are my cpu specs: CPU- E2180 @ 2.00 gHz GPU- 9600GT stock OS- Windows 7 RAM- 2GB HDD- 500GB (200GB Free) MoBo- G31 TE M7 Biostar PSU- Antec Earthwatts 380W For some reason when I play games such as Mirror's Edge, Street Fighter 4 and James Bond Quantum of Solace on medium settings the...

Absolutely brilliant advice.

Ok, I am under a strict $700 dollar budget. I cannot spend a penny over $700 yet I want a gaming pc that can be upgraded when I run into more cash. Here is what I came up with so far... DVD Burner: Lite On 20x (23.99) Case: Raidmax Smilodon (74.99) Hard Drive: Western Digital 320 GB (64.99)...

It's alright.. It'll be worth it i'm sure. There's so many games I want to play like Oblivion, Mass Effect, Team Fortress, COD 4. Granted all those games are on 360 but I know they are so much more fun on PC. I'm looking forward to it.

After reading that post, I decided NOT to go Crossfire. I am new to Computer Gaming and I honestly don't think I would be able to tell the difference. About the CPU, by "bumping to 3.0 gHz" I assume you mean Overclocking. Now I want my computer be as "future proof" as possible, so I would...

I'm having a problem with the motherboard. I would prefer to have one that supports crossfire and/or sli. But I cant find an Intel motherboard that supports ATI's Crossfire.

I found a Quad Cores for $200 bucks by both AMD and Intel. However they're only 2.4 and 2.5 gHz, respectively. Would you rather get a CPU with more cores and less gHz or a cpu with less cores and higher gHz? Also I've found what seems like a good deal on RAM. OCZ Reaper HPC Edition 4GB. Looks...

I'm hooking my computer up to a 27" HDTV LCD Monitor (Westinghouse). Does that mean that I need Crossfire support?

I'm currently a hardcore console gamer (Xbox 360) looking to venture out into the PC Gaming field. I am aware that PC Gaming is higher priced and I am prepared. Here's a system that I'm looking at: Mobo: EVGA nForce 680i SLI Motherboard $160 CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo E8400 Processor 3.0 gHz $180...
