    pg straining my system

    well finally cleaned out about an ounce of dust from my cpu cooler. dropped the temps alot! so i oc'ed back to 3.2 ghz.(btw anyone with a q94xx series cpu i challenge you to daily rac)! pm me if you want to compete in pg with me! anyway i had to drop down to 3 cores cause of lag and have to turn off gpu while in use or games wont play. and i play alot... any advice?

    I seem to remember that there is a setting which allows GPU work after xx minutes...Also...A similar setting for CPU...Like "do not use more than xx % of cores"....Or something...

    Nice to see you posting again, Greg! Yes, you are correct. Does your mobo have 4 slots for RAM? If so, you can get (2) 1 GB sticks to add to your current 2 GB very reasonably priced these days.
