Thanks for the input guys.
To answer some questions:
First I just built this computer in September so the OS is pretty fresh. I defraged maybe 3 weeks ago. I only have like 60GB being used on my drive, so I can do that again in a sec. As far as programs running in the back, none really. Windows boots using around 400mb of Ram sometimes its mid/high 3's, so not a lot of my memory being used. Fraps runs sometimes but I really dont see a difference with it on in the back ground.
It would just be mind blowing that my CPU would be the issue. I know it recommends a quad core but there are people on the Steam forums that have 2.8ghz Core 2 Duos that are getting around 60 fps...Id like to think my CPU is faster. I know this is beta, and a patch or the finished products will most likely run better but I was wondering if anyone could sniff out issues just by seeing my sig or have any pointers on optimization.
I would like to point out that some people with SLI and single cards on the GTX 285 and ATI equivalent have had reports of framerate issues, but there are plenty of people who have comparable rigs and get much better framerates than me. I get better FPS in Crysis on very high settings. (config files changed) So it just leaves me to wonder.
I always wonder about more memory, its just XP uses so little memory I dont see the need. Appreciate any further assistance or opinions and again thanks for any and all input.
