Here's my situation:
AMD 1800
2x512 GB of 400DDR (1 gig)
ABIT KD7 RAID Mobo
RADEON 9550 256 MB
Problem #1:
The program I'm trying to run crashes to desktop after about 15 minutes. The only solution to this problem is when I downclock my ram from 400 to 333. This doesn't make sense to my why I would have to do this for the program to work. The motherboard says it handles 400. It stinks because I want to use what I paid for. Would my bus speed be a reason for this?
Problem #2:
I noticed some jerkiness in some parts of the program. I downloaded fraps. My average frame rate is at 20. My gut says it should be higher, but I don't know where to look. What goes into making good framerates BESIDES videocards? What about bus speed? I'm not sure if my system is holding my video card back.
Thanks for the help!!!
