[QUOTE="wmprice1240, post: 873889, member: 99551"] There is no real 'silver bullet' here. Over time as you install applications etc often times these apps install background or startup services to your system that consume cycles without it necessarily being obvious. For the games that you are playing, obviously you want to get the latest drivers. Both games are GPU intensive and at the end of the day, your graphics card is what really matters. Are you noticing performance issues in anything other than gaming? Or is just slow system responsiveness all around? Might be time to go hunting for any processes/apps (as mentioned above) that may be causing you to lose cycles. I am pretty impressed actually that you can even play COD4 on this system. I have the same model as you, though the 2.33 and I never even thought about trying to run a FPS on my system. [/QUOTE]
