For some reason I am getting low frames in half-life 2 / DoD. So I ran aquamark and sure enough my scores were significantly lower than what I have gotten in the past. Here are my two scores: the first is 3 months ago, the second is today,

My initial thought was cool and quite, which has caused trouble before, so I went and disabled it in the bios; no dice. I just reformatted my computer and went to 2 1gig sticks of ram the other day (from 2 512's). Windows is pretty freaken clean at this point. I initially used the latest (90 series) drivers but I thought that might be the problem so I removed them and then put on the 77 drivers, when that didn't fix it I deleted those, and used a driver cleaner and installed the 78.01 drivers (which you can see were the ones I used before). I will post my bios settings later, but any advice, experience or thoughts on the matter would be extremely helpfull because I am starting to run out of ideas (my last 2 are switch the ram back and change the bios settings around). I will post my bios settings later but I am running late for work. Thanks guys
