    i have trouble running games and the only problem left i could think of is because i have a dual processor, Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 3.00GHz, a nvidia 6800xt, 120 gig harddrive not used up at all, 2 gigs of ram and IntelĀ® Desktop Board D865PERL, some games run great like halo and some older good graphic games but the new ones dont, like 13 fps even some without that great of graphics and even when the graphics on low settings as possible

    ure proc is NOT dual core its single core i still dont think it should be the one causing lag what r the timings of the ram? my friend had that same problem but he had a 7800gs he could play at med or low when he shouldve been playing at high then he lowered the timings and problem solved
