hi guys,
my pals got this system i think its amd 1700+..and he recently got a samsung 60 gb HD...and we trid puttin the ati radeon 9600 pro and tried playin doom...
the prob we've noticed is tht theres no prob with the game as such...but when a lot of sounds are involved the game begins to frame.....for eg when a door opens,or when a lot of sounds overlap...and when the game frames, the hard disk light begins to blink.....he never had this problem with his old HD........
he thinks tht theres somethin wrong with the swap memory of the HD or maybe his sound card drivers are not up to date....
maybe its taking too long for info to move from the HD to ram given the fact tht we just have 512mb of ram.....
wht cud it be?
thnx guys
thnx guys
