Hey everyone, thanks for taking time at looking at this post. I have posted this post many different places and not had one response! Which is when I decided to come to TechSpot and hopefully someone here can help me out, I've listed my system specification below, and also my problem. I really hope someone can help because it's driving me mad not being able to find a solution!
Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition SP2
2.7 GHz Intel Celeron CPOU
1GB DDR400 Memory
Nvidia 6600 256mb PCI-E Graphics Card
550Watt Power Supply
P4V800D-X Asus Motherboard.
I feel that this is a computer that meets most of todays gaming requirements. The game i'm experieing problems with is Half Life 2 - Game of the Year edition.
It loads without problem, but gameplay is unbearable. It's incredibly slow, not at all smoth, and i'd say it's playable but not how it should be. I play many games such as Need For Speed Most Wanted, and Sims 2, but half life is the one i'm struggling with even though my computer is way above both minimum and recommended and even my graphics card is one that Valve (Steam) Recommend!
Sorry that this post is so long, but I'm trying to give as much information so that someone can help. Thanks for taking time to read, and any posts i'll be greatful with!
One thing i forgot to mention, there are no running processes hogging my memory and it's a fresh install of Windows, there's no viruses or spyware and adaware and AVG is disabled when trying to run the game so minimal memory's used. Thanks
