Hello everyone, I haven't posted in a while but now I'm in need of some help! Here's the story, a few months ago, I built my awesome computer so I could finally game like I've always wanted too =). Here are the specs:
CPU - Core 2 Duo E6420 - Overclocked @ 2.9Ghz Bus 415 Multiplier 7x
Cooler - Zalman Al/Cu Cooler on it
Motherboard - Gigabyte 965P-DS3
Graphics Card - BFG Tech 8800GTS 320MB
RAM - 2 x 1 gig Corsair PC2 - 6400 (400mhz) Current Timing : 1-5-6-6-20
Harddrive - 500 gig SATA 2
The problem is that my system has become unnaturally slow when I'm running multiple applications, and it really shouldn't be considering how much RAM and CPU power it has. Is there any problem with the configuration I have and is there anything I can do to fix it?
P.S - I'm going to reformat soon and re-overlock once my last exam finishes tomorrow. Are there any important adjustments I should make to BIOS for my next system?
