I recently did a major up grade to my system.
Dell Diminison xps r
384 meg. ram
upgrades
Windows 98se to Windows xp Home
original IBM HD 14,4 G to a Western Digital HD 80 G
Gforce2 440 MX 64M to a Gforce3 TI200 128M
Turtle Beach Montego I to Creative Audigy2
MY machine was originally a PII 450 but I upgraded that to a PIII 1Gig.The processor upgrade was not part of this upgrade. The processor was changed out about a year ago.
My question is even though every thing looks and sounds better I am seeing little or no performance improvement in my games like Nascar racing 2002, or nascar Heat frame rates are about the same. Dose anybody have any idea what is going on. I would think that the video card upgrade alone would make my frame rates jump up.
P.S. I did go online and get all the latest drivers and updates for Windows XP.
Thanks, Swkster
