mscano Posted January 20, 2001 Share Posted January 20, 2001 I'm running CM on a PIII 933mhz, 256mb pc133 ram, with a Asus V7700 Geforce2 AGP (32mb ddr ram) and large battles are still choppy. What's up? ------------------ If it bleeds, we can kill it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slapdragon Posted January 20, 2001 Share Posted January 20, 2001 If you have up to date drivers for everything, then start looking at what is eating your system resources as in you have a virus, or you are running a lot of system additions. In addition, Win 9x will loose system performance over time, some people reinstall it on a regular basis so get things like lost DLLs and screwy VM files and the like under control.

But if somehow my skiff goes down, I'll freeze to death before I drown.

mscano Posted January 20, 2001 Author Share Posted January 20, 2001 I looked at my startup in msconfig and saw that Office2000 boots up at start. I turned it off in startup and everything runs great now. Thanks SlapDragon and thank you Mr. Gates for such a resource hog of an Office program...........................Sorry for the Microsoft bashing, but I couldn't resist. ------------------ If it bleeds, we can kill it.

Guest Andrew Hedges Posted January 20, 2001 Share Posted January 20, 2001 There's a smallish utility called EndItAll you can download from CNET that will, as the name sort of suggests, end all of those programs that automatically start up with a mouse click; you can also configure what gets shutdown and what stays on. I generally run it all the time before I start any game, although, with your system, maybe you don't need to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
