[ciproxr]

I recently purchased a radeon x800 128mb and I did a 3dmark5 test and i scored about 3727......ive been playing COD2 fairly nicely but i did notice a very slight lag at times or sometimes in the very begining.......i did a couple of google searchs and i learned about fraps so when i ran cod2 i noticed most of the time i get between 20-25 fps on the highest resolution with shadows turned off......

is this what im suppose to be getting ?

was just doing some more test and it seems like it can drop to 20 but go as high as 55 ....deppends on whats going on , but never once did it go down you zero, even when it did do that lag

WEll, the first thing I would do is grab another 512 mb of ram. You're card can still handle most of the games today (with some IQ sacrifices). Other than that, it is almost expected to see your score in 3dmark05 almost hitting 4 k.

well my plan is to get another 512 ram and upgrade my psu to a 500w , i can do both for under 100 bucks,
