Help: p4 3.4ghz performing really slow
Hi guys,
Im trying to find out why my pc performs really "slow" even when i play some games like cs/bf2 i get some major lags or the screen jerks at times. I even tried the superpi test and i think i got a low score. Is there anyway to tweak my pc to perform its best or is my pc just crap? ![]() ![]()

If it is a store-bought boxed PC, then just list the model # of the PC. If it is a custom built PC, then list the CPU, Motherboard, RAM, Video Card, PSU *and be specific, for example don't just write "1G RAM" |

The problem sounds to be somewhere in the graphics card area. |

I think that p4 can be overclocked to do a lot more, ask KingCody nicely, I think
But give us your full specs too.

You can download everest. Or you used to be able from the site, but apparently majorgeeks still host the file.... http://www.majorgeeks.com/download4181.html
Run that and you should find the specs for your comp. And about your low score, its your graphics card. Your m/b may be crap, but it shouldn't be such a huge factor. It might be if you're competing for the highest scores... |

try typing in "cpuz" into your search engine and downloading that.
make sure your g cards are kept cool and make sure you have plenty of air in that case. as youve got 2 cards in there it might be worth updating that power supply to at least a 400 or a 500watt, they drink energy like nothing else. the lagging could be the hard drive acessing data, what hard drive you running, has it had any viruses on it? |
