Lagging

[AZNRockThis]

Ok, on my AMD 64 3500+, Asus A8V, Radeon 9800 Pro 256, my computer starts lagging after 2 hours of game play. The cpu temp is relatively low! I let my little brother play warcraft III for 2 hours and it started to lag! Than he played Knights of the Old Republic for 30 minutes and it starts to lag. Any suggestions?

Are you playing from the cdrom and if so, how fast is your cd rom? also make sure that you don't have any unneeded programs and processes running the background. That might only do a little but it will help.

cdrom speed =40x, I closed out all of the unneeded programs

Did you not read the original post? He said he had a Radeon 9800 Pro.

His post says Radeon 9800 pro but his signature says Radeon 9800 XT

nope I took the 9800XT out, and put the old 9800 pro 256 back in because I want to use the 9800XT on a different project.

do you have heatsinks on your 9800pro?
