2.2Ghz is the core frequency, the 4200+ is the 'pentium rating'. So it's equal or better than an intel @ 4.2Ghz.

Nope, I don't have anything forced on the Control Panel.Quote:

Uh, No, I don't have the Dual Core Optimizer as far as I know; I'll get that now or maybe someone could point it out to me..
My ingame settings are usually a windowed mode at 800x600 with Anti-Aliasing at 2-sample and level of detail at Low or High (Depends on my mood ;) )
Ehh, what do you mean by selective startup?
Holy crap, are you serious? That's just crazy. =]Quote:

Yikes, I just installed the Dual-Core Optimizer for AMD and I'm gonna see if it makes it better...Quote:

So I restarted and that brings me to where I am now.
So to a core2 processor how does that processor compare? I have a 3.0ghz core2duo and i think its awsome. I'm an intel fan btw.
I know i'm probably not a genius but i think just stating your computer's rating and the component on the lowest sub-score would help. I seriously think your computer should play the game well.
It sounds exactly like the problem i had on my old computer. I think i stated this before but i updated from XP to Vista and when i would play halo i had SERIOUS random lag, and it seemed like it was timed. Every so many seconds or maybe a minute it would lag terribly. I just wiped my HD and installed vista on a clean partition and after that it worked great. I'm sure it could have been fixed but i get frusterated and go overboard at times.
My rating that I got was 4.1.Quote:

And, um, take a look at this guys.

I never upgraded to Vista, My computer came with it. I just made a new partition and put XP on that so I'm dual booting right now.
Well johnny what's yours? Then we can compare it. Rough comparison though, maybe use something like 3dMark.Quote:

That's a lot of mem for a videocard btw...
Yea, I swear that yesterday it was like 600 something megabytes.Quote:

For some reason my 3d mark isnt working, i'll try reinstalling.
I know those scores are not awsome but I'm happy with my performance. I still need to finish this comp though, its work in process. Some of these parts are from my old comp and need to be replaced like the video card.
It looks to me like draclan's graphics card is his computer's crutch. But reguardless there is a problem. It should still play well.
