Now i am running vista sp1 32bit
Would it increase my graphics if i were to go to 64bit?
My question for you guys is why is it when i run any games i have trouble maxing out my graphics setting. This video card is capable of running Fallout 3, Mass Effect and game you can think of on the max setting.
Apparently i may not know what i am doing and may have messed up with the motherboard. I didn't see it fit to purchase another one but please let me know guys am i wasting the parts i have in there on this motherboard? Am i getting the maximum use out of my parts?
