O hello to all as this is my first post. Heres the deal Ive just put together a new gaming rig and am initially pleased with the result, but not getting the performance i expected. I also have a few tech related questions for later. The specs are as follows:
Processor- AMD Athlon X2 5000
RAM- Corsair DDR2 XMS2 4GB total (timing 4-4-4-12) but this is not what bios shows.
GPU- EVGA 7950 GT KO
Power Supply- SilverStone 600w
When I run 3DMark06 i get very poor performance, i.e around 20-25 fps and when the processor test it goes to 0.
However playing FEAR i get ~80 FPS with all settings on high.
SO WTF. How can I improve this.
I also need to know where to begin if I wanted to OC. I know theres tons of info but I cant find anything simple to start with.
Also, I have 2 WD 250GB HD's i installed windows on one and with windows I can only see 1 drive listed, but both show in BIOS. And how do i go about setting these up in RAID1?
Also XP only shows 3.5GB of RAM, why is this?
Thanks for any input.
