517983 2007-01-21 07:12:00 Because your OS is most probally a disaster zone. Metla (12)
517984 2007-01-21 07:14:00 what do you mean a disaster zone should i get 64bit windows as my processor is 64bit? meat eater (11805)
517985 2007-01-21 07:18:00 I mean your OS is probably set up so inefficiently that it is hampering game performance, so in comparison to a similar PC with a fresh install yours may well lag behind. Metla (12)
517986 2007-01-21 07:19:00 Kinda strange. The 7600GT is better than the 7600GS by quite a bit.

See here: www23.tomshardware.com

I believe what Metla is saying, is that your windows install probably has a whole lot of junk on it, slowing things down.

517988 2007-01-21 07:23:00 hmmm...Are you running Nortons by anychance?, Did you install drivers for the Motherboard and Video? Metla (12)
