My friend is having issues with a new build.

[Oceandevi]

Gigabyte mobo
evga 8800 gt
supertalent ram. ddr2 800 from hot deals. 4 gigs
allendale c2d 2.2 ghz
he has vista also.

has lag in oblivion and EQ2. I do not have knowledge of these newer systems.

Where should we start? drivers? is vista an issue? superfetch might be a problem according to some.

If you need more info just ask. What are the basic steps to increasing performance and stability in vista while gaming?

anyone?
