Hi, we recently bought a Packard Bell H5960 pc just for my son to use for games. This pc is not attached to the internet and runs no realtime virus protection. The problem is that for the spec we bought, we feel that the performance is not great - it seems to be the video performance.
Here are some of the specs to start with:
Running XP Home with SP2
Intelprocessors x 2 model 4, 3.4Mhz
Physical RAM 1024 Mb
Display card Radeon X600, 512 Mb, Driver version 6.14.10.6618
Direct x 9.0c
The game that he is most struggling with is Scarface. He can only run it as 640x480 not due to any errors but for speed. It is otherwise very slow, characters in the game just move very slowly. Cannot turn on any aliasing or other graphic features. We have seen the game run on a friends pc which is a far, far lower spec and it is much quicker.
So far, all I have done is load the latest ATI driver for the X600. Run all the Direct x diagnostics and they are all good. The system is very stable, no errors or crashes.
Any ideas would be great.
Thanks in advance
