[BigTree]

-Amd 64 3000+ Winchester
-Msi Kn8neo2 Plat (1.B bios)
-2x 512 corsair value memory (i know it sucks)
-9800 Pro (everything seems to think this card is a 9800 Xt but it definately is not)
-Audigy 2 Sound Card
-380 Watt Antec PS
-2x Dvd drives
-120 gig Sata
-80 gig Maxtor.
-2x120mm fans
-Temp usually no higher than 35C
-Windows XP

All pieces of hardware have the newest drivers, and scaned for viruses/spyware daily with 4 application (MS antispyware, Spybot, Adaware, Avg)
Lately my comp has been running slow as hell. Like a pig. So i got a 120 gig Sata hard drive and reformatted everything. I now run windows off of this sata drive and use the normal one for storage. I honesltly cannot feel a "speed increase" so to speak over before and after. For example my buddy with the same specs as me (diff MB is all) gets into Bf2 25 seconds before me (live 5 mins away, same Isp, modem...) My 3dmark 05 score was 2697. I seemed to lose everything in the 3d department. At times I was at a steady 1fps. This is with no AA, 1024x728 res. Any ideas guys?

that score sounds about right

I agree. Looking at the ORB, I see the higher scores of mid 3000 range. But those have OCed CPUs and OCed VCs. If you are running everything at stock settings, that scores sounds about right for your specs.

Was this your first run on 3DMark05 with this setup?

hrmm ya it was. I now understand what you mean it is "about right". Playing games like Bf2 for example on slim to no graphics means super large lag for some odd reason. Its not the internet connection either. I guess i will just start with unistalling than re-installing all drivers again.

If you only get this 'lag' in BF2, try disabling the in-game voice for it. I had some 'lag' appearing problems and disabliing that stopped it. I dont use the in-game voice anyways.

sounds like an OK score. I get just under 2.5k with my 9700pro but I have a much better cpu, ram and win2k. If your lagging in games, try overclocking your cpu and ram
