Urbanoutlaw Posted December 20, 2007 Share Posted December 20, 2007 If I got it right, your video should compare close to an N-Vidia 5500 (tech guys could tell you for sure) & your 256 meg of video RAM should be more than plenty. That should be more than plenty for SA. Processor is well above adequate, & RAM should be enough. I'm running a full gig, but have ran on 512. On paper, it looks like SA should run no prob on your machine. When is the last time you defragged your hard drive? If you have anti-virus software, run it. If not, download AVG from their site (free & legal) unless you plan to buy something better. Start w/ these & see if it helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It could be your HD can't keep up with the demand. This could be because you need to update your motherboard's I/O drivers (check the Asroc site). Or if the radio playing makes it worse it makes me wonder if you've got the sound data coming off the DVD instead of it being installed on the HD?

smurfrules Posted December 21, 2007 Author Share Posted December 21, 2007 Hi guys! thanx for the advice! I've got Nortons Anti-virus installed & completely up to date. I've updated the bios, & I'm gonna give the defrag a try. I've also tried to free up as much hard drive space as possible. I'll let you know how it goes! Thanx Again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
