Computer is not performing up to where it is suppose to?

Intel Pent 4 CPU 3.2ghz

1.5 gig RAM

Geforce 7800 gs oc

500 watt power supply



when i play battlefield 2 in medium and high settings, it looks great, occasionally lags, but would all of a sudden freeze. I can run it on low settings really well though. I have friends that have the same video card that can run the same game with high settings with ease. What is wrong with mine?Computer is not performing up to where it is suppose to?
Go to the site below to learn how to set your RAM correctly for games!

I think there may be viruses or spyware on your system. Go to Google Pack and download the Spyware Doctor.



If you use Vista i recommend disabling the UAC until SP1 comes out. http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/dd220…Computer is not performing up to where it is suppose to?
1gb RAM may not be enough to play games - especially if you have other programs running in the background. I would free up RAM as much as possible if you do not want to invest in another memory chip:



1. Set wallpaper and screensavers to blank or none — they run continuously in the background and use memory.

-----right-click on the desktop, select Properties

-----click the screensaver tab, on the left where it says "screensaver," select none.

-----click the desktop tab, for background, select none

2. Review your start menu – remove anything you don’t need on a daily basis — load games, etc. on an as-needed basis.

-----click Start, Settings, Taskbar and Start Menu

-----click the Start Menu tab

-----select a program you do not want to load at Startup, then click remove.

-----Caution -- do not touch anything you are not sure of or you will mess up your computer royally.

3. From Internet Explorer, click Tools, Internet Options: delete cookies, delete files (offline), and clear history. (You can also set days to store history to 0.)

----- These actions will clear your computer’s cache. (For a description of cache, go to http://help.yahoo.com/l/ph/yahoo/mail/ac… )

4. Run Disk Cleanup, Scandisk, Defrag at least every two weeks (the more frequently they are run, the less time they take).

-----These can be found in Start, Programs, Accessories, System Tools.

5. Periodically, click Start, Programs, Run — then type ipconfig renew

(that’s ipconfig space renew).

6. Optional: Speed vs Goodies — in the Control Panel, System, Advanced, Performance, Settings — you can have visual effects or let Windows select the best options. I am using “Best Performance.” Your choice.

These things should increase speed and free up memory as much as possible.
