archzai Posted September 12, 2006 Share Posted September 12, 2006 Hey guys, I recently got GRAW for my PC. Here are my specs Dual Core 2.8ghz 1gb ram Geforce FX6800 i think 256mb ram Now the thing is, GRAW for the most part runs very smoothly, but sometimes it suddenly slows down to really choppy speeds for a good 20-30 seconds, which is very annoying whenever im in the middle or about to sortie with the enemy. It's random too, it doesnt only happen when im in the middle of a fire fight, it happens when I'm running too sometimes. It aggrivating! >.< I'm not real techie unfortunately so I was hoping some of you guys can help me. I read something about maximizing my dual core? How would I do that? I assume that for the most part I'm not utilizing my computer to the max. Thanks! smile.gif Also wondering, does Dual core mean my computer is a lot faster? till this day I still dont quite understand the concept. Thanks again =) PS: realized i posted this in the GR forum earlier, no wonder why no one was answering. So mods can remove the thread in the other forum. Thanks!

jeff1101 Posted September 12, 2006 Share Posted September 12, 2006 Might be your HDD having to reload stuff and whatnot, maybe a defrag would do the trick, it seems to fix alot of minor issues Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rossiski Posted September 18, 2006 Share Posted September 18, 2006 More RAM would definitely help. 1 Gig is holding you back, especially if you're running all of Windows XP's unnecessary services. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToW-Angel Posted September 19, 2006 Share Posted September 19, 2006 This is good for gamers to use and it's what I use to turn off all the extra unnecessary services: http://majorgeeks.com/page.php?id=12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
