I recently bought a Geforce 6600 GT (agp version) and it's being doing a great job with games. But for some reason my virtual memory is always running low and the cpu is always getting maxxed out at 100%. My old card only had 128 MB of memory just like this one. Anyone know what's causing this?
 
What card did you come from? Could be driver issues. Uninstall drivers, run driver cleaner, reinstall. Also, have you checked for spyware/viruses recently?
 
I had a Geforce FX 5900, where can I find the driver cleaner? As far as spyware/viruses I use like 4 different scanners for that stuff so I doubt that's the problem. Could it be that the 6600 GT is only 128 bit while the 5900 was 256 bit graphics?

Virtual memory isn't related to your video card's memory, but your system memory. How much RAM do you have?
