I was just stating that I saw no difference in FR since last version and updates.
May want to disable some programs running in the background and reduce your vid settings. Also, disable detailed terrain & water in the game video settings, I remember doing that before I built this system I am using now and it helped a lot.
Another point to check would be video card driver update form the card manufacturer, a lot of times this is not an automatic option and requires you to do this manually.
Can also look at increasing bus speed on your processor, called over-clocking. (careful here, need to know what you are doing and I would suggest a temp monitor for the processor) Most of the time a processor can actually run at a higher than specified speed, depends on the processor batch at the time of manufacture. Processors are built in "batches" and the entire batch is specified at the speed of the lowest processor in the batch, therefore you can actually have a faster processor without realizing it, just got to know how to tweak it. I used to have a pentium 4 years ago that was rated at 2.8 and I was running it at 4.2 with the addition of a new heat sink / fan and a liquid cooler (home-built). I remember some friends of mine using liquid nitrogen to push a pent 4 to it's max (can't remember what that was), it was crazy. Got to realize at some point, it may be cheaper and easier to build a new system though.
