Well recently i started playing a new game nd noticed im only getting about 30-40 fps during game play. I was talking to some of the other players and they seem to be doing much better than I.

First off im looking for suggestions on mobo's for crossfiring 2 ati radeoon hd 4850's. Is this even useful or am i wasting a card.

Given im on kind of a tight budget i was just looking for ideas and costs. Also im looking for maybe some ram idea's im now quite sure what kind of ram im running but i know its atleast 3 gig.

Basically i want to increase my FPS. i thought my system was pretty decent.

I wanted to upgrade to vista, but is that even a good idea at this point? Will it increase or decrease my fps.


Not quite sure what my current mobo is.. kinda a newb to this stuff.. but im running an AMD athalon x2 dual core.. 4200+ with one ati radeo 4850 at the momment. 3 gigs of ram.

I want to say ive either got an abit or asus mobo..

Am i just needing to tweak my system? or should i jump for new parts?

A Radeon 4850 should be plenty powerful for most games. Also, if you are getting any more than 50fps it is a waste because your eyes can't see that many frames per second.

If you want a higher framerate try lowering some settings. I also recomend turning on Vsync so that your framerate does not go above your monitor's refresh rate.

well see thats the thing.. people have slightly less specs than me and run it better.. im thinking its the mobo.... any suggestions? they also run on the same.. or better settings
