Ok here is the situation. This last Christmas I built a new gaming computer. I got all my parts installed and ready to go and the thing worked great, but recentaly I've noticed somthing Im getting a bit of lag.

Specs:
AMD 64 3000+ Venice 1.8@2.05
Evga 7800GT
1GB of Crosair XMS memory
Lian-Li Pc-65B
DFI Lanparty UT nf4 SLI-DR
WD 80GB HDD 7,200 RPM (DEFRAGED EVERY DAY)

It just seems like a rig like this wouldnt get no lag what so ever on HL2, COD2(Settings as high as they go). So I just want some suggestions.

Also
-Im only runing 26 proccess in back ground
-Dont seem to run hot
-And I dust my computer every week

Like ill be playing Hl2 and Ill get lag not a lot but noticeable same in COD2 lag is real bad for some reaason. I have a friend with the same setup and he gets no lag what so ever.
:mad: It really makes me mad
 
Still isn't clear what you mean by lag. Stutters? Frame rate drops? Hard drive loading? Input delay? While gaming, CTRL+ALT+DEL and click on the CPU tab and see what is taking up that 1-2% of your CPU (yes 1% can even ruin a game experience). Anti-virus check / spyware check? You may have gotten a dirty one.

I think im getting fram rate drops cause like ill be playing and all is well and then BOOM I start to lag a little. I dont think it is the HDD cause I bought a new one yesterday, and thats all I have to say about that but ill run a AVG and S&D.

Thanks Moderman
 
You defrag it every day? That's not good....

Avg updates alot, so it might just be doing that while you are playing the game.
 
Why is it not good? Although I defrag once every 1 - 2 weeks (the performance gain is all hype really).

Yes, I only run AVG when I need to.

1 GB ram and a 7800gt wont cut it for full cod2 settings...depending on the resolution
not 1024x1280 or above
 
It's not? You're funny.

P4 3 GHz with 512 MB and 6600 GT here - runs without a hiccup at high quality @ 40 FPS. His system should run beautifully with higher frames. :rolleyes:

Yeah, Ive been running a few test and I can't really find the problem. But I never knew Defraging every day was bad?
 
Check your temps / set up your BIOS correctly perhaps?

I doubt defragging so much is bad. It's all hearsay. I have once defragged my gaming PC everytime I use it and it haven't suffered anything.

His system should run cod2 pretty nice except for when he runs into smoke nades, then I bet he drops to 20 or so.

LOL, yeah it does lag when that happens, or when I really get into it like 20 guys all on screen.
