Hi Guys, I have recently built my very first computer mainly for gaming. But recently I have been experiencing lag in my games. So I decided it's time to upgrade. I currently have the Athlon X3 440 and a XFX 5770 GPU. Which CPU will have better improvements for games? AMD Phenom II X6 1055T or X4 965BE? Or should I add more RAM? I currently have 4GB RAM under clocked to 1333, because my motherboard freaks out when i clock it to 1666(factory clock btw).

What games are lagging? Are they played across the internet on game servers?
It might not be your system at all, but an issue with game server latency, or crowded servers.
Wouldn't be much fun to buy an X6 1055T and find you're still experiencing the same game lagging.

For some reason Counter Strike:Source lags the most. I personally don't believe it's a server lag. Because when it lags, the audio repeats and the screen just froze for about 2 seconds.

Other games that lags are Bad Company 2 and Crysis when there's just too many things going on the screen.

What's the after market price for the Athlon X3 440? I got it less than a month ago. It will be such a waste to throw it out.

CS:S is a game that runs pretty well on SLOW single core CPUs. So there is something else going on there. Driver issues, perhaps.

What resolution and in game graphics settings are you using for the last two games?
BF:BC2 and Crysis are notoriously hard for even powerful systems to run well at high resolutions with all the eye candy turned on.

I have tried using driver 10.4, 10.5, 10.6, 10.7, and 10.8. They all seem to lag on CS:S. I thought it might be overheating isssue, but sometimes it lags even only 2 minutes into the game. I monitor my temperature. It's usually 50 - 75C. And I run all the games on 1680x1050.

Hmm, question to add. Do you by chance have any apps open that might leak memory? Such as a browser, or a bad Anti-Virus program? Such as McAffee or Norton? Check your processes and see if anything is consuming alot of memory or % of cpu usage.
