Heres the setup.
Windows XP Pro
Asus A8N-SLI Deluxe
AMD Athlon 64 4000+ 1mb L2 (OCed to 2.76 FSB 230 at 1.4v)
2 GB A-Data DDR 400
2 x 8800GTX in SLI
2 x WD Caviar SE16 250 gb hdd in raid 0 64k stripe
Couple drives DVD, floppy
Accessories
So here is the question. Am I limiting the performance of my 2 gpu's with my CPU. Any tricks on making my system run smoother? Fresh install was done about 4 months ago, no issues since. When I play team fortress 2 my frames start dipping into the 10's. Settings help? Background processes that I can stop to help free up cpu throughput? Looking for anything here. Could my cpu be dying? Idle temps are around 37 and at 100% load 48. Ask me some questions Ill tell you anything. Just need to get my old gamer back on its feet.
