WGTpizza:Ahh yes, that is correct. I'm getting my wires crossed. We only have the brand and the chipset. Let us know, Hyena64 :)
Just my 2 cents worth, not that it means much.
But as I said before, computer hardware (model, chipset, etc) I believe play an important role on how the computer operates.
For example, I have done about everything here on my end to decrease memory footprint and improve performance. Thus, on a fresh install of my xp-pro o/s memory requirements are 65 MB. Running only 13 processes with all the drivers up todate.
It would be interesting to cross reference hardware, vs game play ability to see if there is a common root to a problem.
Secondly, one would need to check on how the computer is configured also, startup, processes, etc, and software installed to see if there some commonality.
Computers can be finicky, (they have a personality sort of speak). However, as of late my meter is not bad, as long as I take my time, which is most important.
