thanks GDI, but this Dell system with thier customised 250W PSU will not hack the better AGP cards. Its getting older and so this is as top as i can go.

GS, do you have fast writes on or off?


Dell PSUs are capable of pushing out 350W. That's the peak wattage.

I have just had a play about with some settings after a couple hours of searching. I have Fast Writes Disabled and i dropped AGP from 8X back to 4X (for some reason it reset them again) and im getting really nice frames with high quality. I might try re-enabling fast writes and will see if it makes a difference as the processor uses HT.

So im happy again, i no longer suffer less than 12 frames.
