Windows 7
AMD Athlon x2 5000+BE overclocked to 2.8ghz
Biostar a760 m+ motherboard
Kingston 2gb 533mhz ddr2 ram
IDE 160gb hdd
Ati 4670 512mb
I'm trying to figure out whats the bottleneck in my computer.
I use it mainly for gaming but its not as fast as I would like.
for example, when playing crysis with all medium settings @1024x768
I get some stuttering and drop in frame rates when destroying buildings
and blowing up stuff . by stuttering I mean video performance and sound start to skip.
another example, Oblivion and Fallout 3 stutter and drop in frames huge steps down. I don't think this should happen as half as much as it should
reviews say my video card is fast enough to play these games at mid to high settings.
I'm thinking its my IDE hard drive is the main bottleneck.
oh and I got the AMD Dual Core Otpimizer.
thanks for any advise
