I dotn think this should be in overclocking. Somoen should move it. Also does ur brother tweak the OS and stuff? That would help alot in scores regardless of hardware, unless the hardware was way way better, but thats not the case here, both systems are around the same.

Unless you not being able to OC your cards 3D has a huge impact, which I doubt, you've definately got a problem. You should check your running processes right before the benchmark in the task managar (By hitting ctrl+alt+del and clicking the Processes tab)

No probs, thread moved

running processes

iv looked whats processing but im not sure wot to cancel....
whats the worst thing that could happen....does it restart with all the running proccesses back?
if the pc restarts with all the processses back on then if i tell u lot about wot processes i am runnin u can tell me which process i could cancel?


i am currently at work, so as soon as i get back home i will see what processses are running
cheers, lou

You should just read the XP tweaking guide "Reformat to Relax" linked to at www.tweakguides.com

However, for a fast fix before going into some time-consuming tweaking, post a screenshot of the Processes tab in task manager.
*To post a screenshot, press Alt + Print Scrn/SysRq. Open up Paint from Start > Programs > Accessories and past your screenshot by pressing Ctrl + V. Save it as a .jpg and upload it as an attachment to a post.

Also post a screenshot of the Startup tab in msconfig (Start > run > msconfig).

Don't worry about closing processes. The worst that can happen is you end Remote Procedure Call's svchost, which will just cause a restart.
