SRL Archive - NOTA

a while ago(like 6-8 months ago) i had built a pc. it crashed about a month later so i sent it to comp place for fixing. when i had the money to get it back(months later) i got it and ran it. it ran ok and i dont remember if i noticed whether it was slow or not. it crashed within a few hours. i tried reinstalling but it always crashed during install… so i had a tech guy i knew fix it. he said it was my faulty hard drive causing the problem. turns out he was right. replaced the hard drive and my pc stopped crashing. the tech guy had installed a game he thought i would like on it so i played it. when i played the game i had an average fps of like 2-4. horrible

when i built the pc, it ran games amazingly. these are my specs, and im pretty sure they r good:

<i would post my specs here but i cant right click anywere while my game is running>
so how do i view my specs without right clicking anywer? i cant leave the game for a while =o

Note: the fourth paragraph on main page should be rewritten it sounds weird. all sentences are same length. fifth paragraph says 'axtively begin developd' which should be actively being developed' :P

What type of processor do you have, how old is it (Is it a hand down?), what type of graphics card you have? (If you remember the name) and how old is that? Also how much physical memory do you happen to have? Also, what's your operating system and what's the bit type?

And when was the last time you happened to do the following:
Scan your computer with a serious program like "HijackThis"
Cleaned out the insides of the computer with a compressed air can and about an hour of time? I mean really got the dust and all of that out. That stuff can seriously slow down a computer.

How can you not remember what components you put in your computer? :<

i meant exact names. i have an nvidia gforce 9600 i think, i forget motherboard but it was worth 600 dollars a few years ago. i have 4g of really good ram cant remember name, 32 bit os on 32 bit architecture. i am running w7 home premium.

EDIT: my post time is one minute beofre urs but u posted first… weird

EDIT2: nvm, AM vs PM :P

thats the report =]

that was fresh after starting up pc. the FPU tests at end slowed my pc to a crawl :P. the manelbrot and julia fractal generators or whatever they wer >.<

the scores at the end are rpetty bad i think… for the fpu tests >.<

not quite sure what a good score is though

What games are you playing that you get low FPS in? A 9600 is pretty old bro…

A 9600 is mad old and I have a feeling you were never really getting good fps with it

awwww. too bad =[

lol. when my freind used it i watched him playing pretty good fps. lol anyway oh well >.<

ty for clearing that up :P

Perhaps he was playing at a lower resolution/less eye candy.

he was playing a different game :P
