First off, I have as follows:
Athlon XP 2000+ (Soon to be upgraded to 3200+)
A7N8X-E Asus Deluxe MB
1 GiG of DDR400
ATI Radeon 9600
I play Planetside and get decent frame rates. When I get into heavy battles with lots of players or roll up on a base that has a bunch on players there, my frames drop below 10 fps sometimes.
Questions:
Is the main reason my frame rates are dropping because of the CPU?
If I overclock my 9600, will it help my frame rate out to a noticable amount?
If it is my CPU, then I am about to solve the issue, but if my 9600 is a slacker too, then I will have to purchase a 9800 Pro. I am just wondering, in the mean time if overclocking will solve a little of the FPS problem.
Thanks,
Mike
