My computer runs slow, but it shouldent.

Hey. I have been having some trouble with games on my computer. my setup is

A64 3000
Radeon 9800 256xt
1 gig Corsair XMS 3500 DDR
MSI K8T Neo mobo
160 gig RAID drive

When I play games, I am not getting that great of FPS, and sometimes it gets really choppy. My cooling is fine. Is there anything I can tweak to get better preformance out of my system? Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

With specs like those I would suggest that you might have a bad config in the bios / drivers since that machine should be able to play any game perfectly.

It could be something simple like memory timings or the wrong multiplier on the chip.

The only problem you might have is if there is a conflict between 2 or more of your devices - you could try taking all of your expansion cards out and switching off all the onboard stuff in the bios to try and detect it - obviously leaving only your Radeon plugged in.

Other than that you could try the normal things like looking at the FAQs for your mobo / GPU on the manufacturers websites.

4.77MHz to 4.0GHz in 10 years. Imagine the space year 2020
