Getting the most out of a dual core processor
So it's been awhile since I got this PC, and I feel like it should be running a lot faster than it should for what the specs are:
+Pentium(R) Dual Core 3.4Ghz processor +2GB of DDR RAM +500GB HDD +ATI Radeon X1300/X1550 (I don't know a great deal about PCs, so I'm just listing the specs I understand) The games I play regularly are HalfLife2, Oblivion, and CS:Source. I understand that only some games support dual core processing, but I know Oblivion is one of the games that is supposed to support it, and the performance I've seen thus far seems to be rather lacking. (the video options are either disabled or set really low) I tried finding an optimizer, but it seems like only AMD has released one for their processors  .PS: I've already considered things such as spyware and programs running on the background, I clear these things up regularly and tend to only have MSN up while I game. Jam it back in, in the dark.  oh my gawddd

D'oh, I was hoping that wasn't it. Other than nVidia 7900, can anyone suggest me a card that would go well with my system, and that can play games with next gen console graphics smoothly? Without completely destroying my wallet lol.
I've been browsing for them since reading this thread, but there is so many choices. There's nowhere I can't reach. oh my gawddd |
