Hi, This may help to improve your FPS. Install the game you want. then uninstall all the games/Programs that you no longer use. Most ppl keep PC's like a mini program junkyard ;). 'One day i will play fifa 95 again' kind of thing. Once that is done get yourself a registry cleaner personally i use Auslogics (free trial with it so if it don't work don't buy it) but there a re loads out there. Then a disk cleanup (CCleaner will do) and finally run disk defragmenter. I have done this at home and in businesses many times and seen both FPS and perfromance increase massively. Also make sure that no other programs are running int he background stealing your RAM and CPU use. If your not online then deactivate the Anti-virus software. BUT remember to switch it on again before connecting again.

Cool thanks Will Bung a new mobo in as well then ;)

that is the question. Hi to everyone. I have a rather average HP SR2029. Intel core duo 2.13ghz 2gb RAM Nvidia 7500 LE graphics card Windows XP Pro media centre With recent game releases i notice very poor or average perfromance such as 'age of conan' at low settings i manage a very poor 20 to 35FPS. I was thinking along the lines of a XPERTVISION 1GB GeF 9600GT SONIC PCI-E 2.0 to majorly boost the graphics. I keep a very clean system (Auslogics Boostspeed ;)) so CPU speed isn't a major issue. The question is will my PCI express port be compatable and run a PCI 2.0 graphics card? Or should i sell a kidney and buy a new rig?

Hi Britty here. I maintain a few PCs and a few laptops for the family (gotta love families :cool:). Am a bit out of date with the hardware side of things but will help people where I can. Am 27 years young and work as a Program tester. Very dull but someone has to make sure those programs at least work sometimes hehe.
