I don't see where it tells you what chipset you have, cpu-z says915GRO which I can't find on Intel's site, but everest has under pci-express controller:Field Value
PCI-E x16 port #2 In Use @ x16 (nVIDIA G70 Video Adapter)

Are you serious?

I would not lie about something like this man,

i will show you the net_graph 1 when I get home, it's SAD.

 

[Smartazz]

well, what other settings to you use?

 

[Gagan]

All I have is like the 2x Aa, but no real high settings at all, it's just the starred ones, and they shaft me like this, damn

 

[Smartazz]

the rest of ur specs?

lol, I just found out that my psu only supports 18amps on the 12 volt rails, BFG recommends at least 26amps, and that's not overclocked.

No, I searched for it. 915GRO is not Intel motherboard. According to google, its a Soltek mainboard. Here: http://www.google.ca/search?hl=en&q=915GRO&meta=

Your dual channel isn't optimal, even though its dual channel. The performance would be between dual channel and single channel.

Dual channel Optimal: Even number DIMMs of the same type, eg. 2x DDR2-533 1GB
Dual channel Compatibility: This config is used for mostly upgrading purposes, eg. 2x DDR2-533 1GB, 2x DDR2-533 512MB
Single channel: Odd number of DIMMs, or DIMMs in a wrong slot

Obviously you have the compatibility dual channel. Of course, it shouldn't make that much of a difference, likely its your CPU.

Check your PS too though, maybe the power supplied is so low your video card and your CPU is throttling(lol).

I think you may have solved the case.

edit: basically it's the psu's fault as to why all my games are getting choppier and choppier. When I first got my 7800GT games lagged less now they lag a lot, psu problem?
