Re: gaming slow

You did NOT say which games are giving your computer problems. If the
problem is with the latest games out, like half Life 2, Doom 3, etc. then
the problem is that your older system is OVERALL too underpowered in it's
components to keep up with the graphics demands of the VERY graphics
intensive demands of these newer games. You would need a faster CPU, more
and faster speed RAM, a new video card, etc. In other words, it's time for
a new computer.
