Need Help Tweeking

[HK-Viper1-]

I did my first build which is Rig2 shown at my signature and I need help tweeking it to make it run better. Not having any major problems but 1. When I am playing a game I start to lag alot which does not happen when I am using my other pc and at times the game will kick me out and an error window pops up says (check .def allocations). Can someone help me with this and other tweeks. My rig is running at default in the BIOS right now. The lagging is not your normal lagging like when a server is slow.


PS.

I just remembered that i forgot to add my VC to my sig they are 2 BFG 7900gtx 512mb

The first two tweaks I apply on any XP machine I build:

Right click My Computer, then Properties > Advanced > click Performance Settings. Click the Custom button and un-check all of the boxes except "Use drop shadows for icon labels on the desktop..." and "Smooth edges of screen fonts".

Right clicj on the desktop, and then Themes tab. In the Themes box, choose "Windows XP (modified). Then click the Appearance tab. In the Windows and buttons box, choose "Windows classic style".
