Hey techheads heres one for you.
Got a 1.4 Athlon Thunderbird, 768 DDR, 40gig, Radeon 9600xt VIO, but 3d games a no no, and im not talking latest games either. Installed Sim City 3000 and slow as f*ck on updating screen. Surely this setup isnt past it yet. Doing my head in , please help
Installed latest drivers, and DX9.0c Anyone got any ideas?
Sounds like a case of a system bogged down:
Have you done the following yet:
File Cleanup? (CCleaner will help you)
Spyware Cleaning? (get AdAware and SpyboySearchandDestroy)
Defrag? (Use Diskeeper)
RegClean? (Use Registry Mechanic)
Process Elimination? (Goto Start>Run type "msconfig"...goto startup items, uncheck ones you don't need. Restart)
Process Annihilation? (Get SmartClose... it'll close everything, but windows...allowing your games to run at Full Speed)
