She's here
« on: August 18, 2006, 12:27:40 am »
Too bad the integrated 6100 is getting raped on BF2. I tried GR3 and it went at a snail's pace, along with CoDII. Since you guys game more than me, everything else okay?

BF2 is known to eat up a lot of resources, the other 2 games i don't have myself.

As for Bf2, make sure you have EAX turned off. It's one of the biggest resource eaters.

I checked your dxdiag and as far as I can quickly see, it looks okay.

My HD is 200GB, but it's displaying as 120GB through my computer. On start-up the BIOS confirms it's 200; any ideas?

And I'm thinking of going x64 Pro, besides the compatibility issues, any thoughts?

I remember back in the old days, there was an allocation bug in windows xp. I think it had to do with 32 bits allocation vs 48 bits allocation (or 42 can't remember exactly anymore).
Are you installing you pc with a pre-sp2 cd of windows XP? If i remember correctly it was fixed in there. Otherwise you could use a partition manager (e.g. Partition Magic) to increase the size of your partition or slipstream sp2 into you windows cd and reinstall your system.
(you could offcourse always settle for 2 partitions. that way the remaining 80gb would make up a second drive-letter in your Windows).

<edit>
This is the Microsoft KB. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/303013/en-us
And i was wrong... it's pre-sp1 instead of pre-sp2
