Also with all my other games too, nothing works any better so now im wodering if its something i need to do in my bios....someone please reply
i was and still am using an AOPEN geforce 5600 256mb ddr.........i thought my getting a better cpu it can make the games run a little better
OEM computer? go to the bios to adjust the colling of the computer's CPU.This is how you can over clock the cpu unless the bios is lock to that computer.
when your computer boots up, what speed does it show for the cpu 1800 or 2800. If 1800 then you have to go into the bios and change the settings. Also possibility that the motherboard can't properly read the bios until you do a bios update
What motherboard do you have? How much memory? Whats the rating of the memory You can find the info for some of this via CPUz http://www.cpuid.com/cpuz.php#download
