    major cod2 issues.. again.

    i finally figured out what was causing me to get around 10-14 fps at fairly low settings (most things set to high or medium, 2x anti-aliasing, 1280x1024 res, bilinear filtering.) on my computer, and it seems to be using direct x7 instead of direct x9. now with super high settings (everything...

    i'm having trouble pushing my chip (p4 660) any higher than a 1000 fsb (250x4). i'm curious if anyone knows if 1000 is the max for my board, or if there is something else that is the problem such as the cpu. the cpu certainly is not overheating (idles 32, loads around 42). does anyone else have...
