Athlon XP 2000+ 50 degrees
I have just upgraded my system from Athlon 1200 with GF 2 GTS to XP 2000+ with GF4 Ti4600. I changed my old coolermaster heatsink/fan for a thermaltake volcano 6cu+. I don't know about you guys, but the extra noise from this fan alone annoys me! I have one case fan at the front (80mm) that sucks...- shall89

Win XP = Poor gaming performance!
Hi GoLdFiNgerR, good point about the BIOS, but everything is set up properly in that department, including aperture size, fast writes etc. As for the network stuff, I have not done that, but will look into it. Thanks for the tip.- shall89

Win XP = Poor gaming performance!
Tried lots of drivers, currently running 28.32 for XP and 98se. I have IBM Deskstar 120GXP - 120mb h/d and it does run at 7200rpm. The effect I get in XP is tearing. Similar to turning off v-sync. Tried lots of refresh rates on my monitor, but stick with 85hz. It is just as happy at 100hz also...- shall89
