Alright. Slight problem... I think.

So I've just installed my new X800 XT into my AGP slot (Thanks to the people who helped last week) and after windows automatically got the drivers d/l and installed, I started up some games. Everything's cool except I notice that my computer is a bit slower now for normal utilities (IExplorer, switching tasks, and ever a little lag in some of the games). Is this typical or what? I've got a Pentium HT 3 GhZ with 1 gig of ram.

Also, what's a decent overclock for my new card?

Which video card drivers did you install for your card?? '

From what you wrote it sounds like you let windows install the default driver...which is a nono for performance.

 

[unfalliblekrutch]

did you uninstall old drivers? Install updated catalysts?

 

[herewego2006]

Yup, that's pretty much what I did.

Time to clean some stuff up I guess.

Updated DX9 also?? Did the games you installed upgrade DX9??

Defrag your hard drive?? Just throwing out some suggestions.
