Performance Tips
Notice 224 : SMBIOS/DMI information may be inaccurate.
Warning 2507 : Mainboard has too few memory slots. Upgrading the memory may be difficult or expensive.
Warning 2508 : All memory slots are full. Upgrading the memory may be difficult or expensive.
Tip 2546 : Large memory modules should be ECC/Parity.
Tip 2513 : AGP Bus is unused or AGP card not fully AGP compatible.
Tip 2525 : Current AGP data rate not optimal.
Tip 2 : Double-click tip or press Enter while a tip is selected for more information about the tip.
While playing Medieval 2: Total War or WoW for instance, occassionally the game freezes, the audio, skips and the next thing I know, I'm looking at a reboot screen. WIndows is polite enough to inform me that my computer has just recovered from a serious error. On other occassions I may be able to play one of the former games without any error to speak of for 6 hour long, why the hell am I staying up this late marathons.
I have a 2001 model Dell Dimension desktop, but I have equipped it with a Nvidia 6600 and an additional 512mb RAM stick. Because it is an older model PC, the PCI ports im my computer are in a Bus and therefore are rather close to each other. Any suggestion?
