Sadly, yes.
The stuff you have doesn't have more power than that.

it doesn't matter how much score u have. what matter is, is the game lag?

if it is, time to upgrade

ya the games lag a bit just put this comp together with some old parts so i was wondering if other people had similar results.

im sure if i had something more than a 1.3 duron in here it would perform better, but i know that a 9600 pro with a 2800 its only like 3800 so not too bad

first thing i would do is upgrade from that duron.. my friend used to have a 1.1 ghz duron it ran 50 to 60C and it smelled like it was burning all the time.. but it ran for a year and a half and then motherboard gave up..

And yes i checked that heatsink was contacting correctly
