Now i don't know the best place to talk about this, but gaming seems to be the more related.
OK I have been having a major problem with my performace within the last months. My gaming performance for my system has been droping compared to what it used to be. Now this is not that normal casue i am not playing High Intence graphics games. First let me tell you my Comp stats.
I got a Pentium3, 866Mhz, with 256 MB of SDRAM, a Geforce 256.
For instance let me give you and example. I played with my system like it was, last year. Playing Q3A, at 1024x768 on the highest graphics getting like 60+ FPS average. Now in the present i get maybe get 20 fps avg. if i am lucky. And the odd this is that when i trun down all the grahics i get even slower.... Now what can be casuing this? Could it be that my RAM is getting old and I need to get some newer ones?
Sorry I am not trying to be a n00b on this subject. I know a lot about hardware, but I still don't know all the little details about it. Like is there a time limit on certian hardware like the video card, where it will slow down after the years go on?
Ok well I did some research, one of my buddies has the exact, and I mean exact computer as me, except for a Geforce 256, he has a Geforce 3.... :wink: Now with the new GPU tech out, will this make such a difference on the computer even tho it still has the same cpu as me. Currently he is getting a large increase in FPS compared to me. But I still can't get over the fact that my computer used to be faster... but it is not now. Like a defragged the HD a lot. I kept it cool at 23 deg celicus with my 7 fans... I have the lastest drivers.
Just have to get some answers on what could be casuing this so that i can fix it by either buying a new hardware or fixing something else that could be casueing it. Well if ya can help me please post a message. Thanks.
