Alrighty folks:
I've been getting the feeling that my PC is running really slow. I formatted it less than a month ago and have well over 120gb's left on the hdd. I ran 3dmark and had a score around 8800.
My specs:
Processor: AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 4200+ 2.2 GHz
V/C: NVIDIA GeForce 6800 GT
RAM: 2056mb
MB: ASRock 939Dual-SATA2 Socket 939 ULi M1695 ATX
SFX: Sound Blaster Audigy
Case: Thermaltake Armor
============================
Problems/Game:
1. Operation Flashpoint: When shooting at an object the PC lags up for a second and then returns to normal. - Average FPS: 7-14
2. Battlefield 2/2142(demo): When entering/exiting a vehical/walking into a titan/getting into dogfights/entering an intense situation pc locks up for a few seconds. - AVG FPS: 10-25
3. Just Cause: I cannot run on any video settings without experiencing less than 10 FPS.
4. HL2 + EXPANSIONS: "Snow...?"
============================
--Basically ALL games show symptoms or major slowing down for a brief period of time & then most of the time quickly returning to tolerable FPS. On about 20% of the time: It gets better but still stay's well below 15fps. If they don't return.. the game's usually non-playable I guess you would say
-Some Games display some sort of "static" or "snow" in bright areas. (I dont overclock).
-I've had this problem before I had a sound card, so I bought the Sound Blaster Audigy hoping that that would fix perhaps the hardware acceleration in getting the "sound" accross heh.
-Some older games (IE: Operation Flashpoint) I have to set the affinity on the dual core to single core. Still the slow down occurs.
-All of these problems (I believe) shouldn't be happening in accordance with my system specs.. I ran a program called: memtest86 and let it run for 8 hours. No errors had occured. So it couldn't be my ram. I ran 3DMARK03 to test CPU and VC.. I don't know what relevance ~8800 is b/c I never used 3dmark. I'd like to run some more tests.. but I just know that my pc is much much much slower than it could be going..
Unless somethings wrong with me
