im so confused

fixed my chipset now like i have a xfx geforce 7300. i know have three gigs of ram. i tried to play half life 2 episode one but it is soooooo slow and lagy. compared to when i had 1 gig of ram and a evga 6800gt. now i though i would be upgrading cards from a 6800 to 7300. whats the deal?

defrag your hdd.... see if that helps...

What kind of mobo do you have first off... You won't run dual channel (If it can) with an odd number RAM... Take out a GB. With video card, the second number is the most important. IMO you actually went to a pretty sad card from the 6800. The 7300 reputation sucks. put your 6800 back in and sell the 7300... then get a 7600 or better card...

7300 is a horrible card. Re-install the 6800 and you'll be in good shape. Remember, kids, the #200/#300 cards share your main RAM and are slower than frozen molasses.

Hold on, back the bus up. Since when is a 7300 and upgrade from a 6800GT. I have a 6800GS, and get 2243 in 3DMark06. A comparable system with a 7300 gets 804. That means that the 6800GS/GT nearly triples the performance of a 7300.

Sorry to say it, but you actually severly downgraded your system.

That's not the issue: He downgraded his graphics card.
