Frames Freezing
« on: March 16, 2002, 07:59:56 PM »
:confused: Hi! hope you all can help. I was told to post here. I have a brand new Hewlett packard Pavilion xt-983, Amd athlon proc , 1.40 ghz 128megs . Also, I have a s3 pro savage graphics. I believe its 16 megs dedicated. I also use a microsoft precion pro stick. Also, windows XP. I don't know the chipset but I was told To upgrade card I need a PCI card. Anyway in AH I get a normal frames around 18 but thats not the problem. My frames seem to freeze especially when a lot of detail. I realize my card isn't the best but can't see the frames freezing w/ the speed  of my pc. I think I have a 40gig hard drive. Any help you guys can do would help my gaming. I'm not computer litterate so eZ does it guys :)

You need more RAM and a better video card certainly.

Also, what sort of sound card are you using.  Are there any resource conflicts/sharing?

seems I have a via tech.inc sound card,model:via ac'97 audio controller(WDM),and driver: viaudio.sys... how much more ram and could you suggest a pci card for me? there seems to be no conflicts as I looked into each area. win xp so much diff them my win 95 I had. so navigating is somewhat new to me.
