EPTDoes anybody know why? Specs if it matters (other than CPU)
Core 2 Duo E6600 2.4 Ghz
GT 520
2GB DDR2 Ram
Motherboard that I'm not sure about (LGA 775)
It couldn't be the PSU right? As far as I know, PSU can only affect the initial boot?

Other games, especially FPS games, are more GPU-dependent and will need a faster graphics card to max out the CPU. Check review sites for benchmarks that should give you some indication. | ||

I'd suggest PMing a mod with that question. Preferably a mod you've seen post in Naniwa's fanclub or the fanclub section in general. Although there may be no solution. | ||

Is it possible to use 2 different speeds? 2x4gb of 1333mhz and 2x2gb of 1600mhz Thanks It's possible to use RAM that is rated for different speeds, but all the RAM will have to run at the same speed, which is the speed of the slowest RAM. | ||

If you are using them in a dual channel setup however, both dimms will run at the speed of the slowest dimm. So it's best to configure them so that the same speed dimms are in the same colored RAM slots. | ||

Changing the motherboard is as simple as unplugging everything from the mobo, unscrewing it, and screwing the new one and plugging the things all back in. | ||

If you're not going to overclock than don't waste your money and get a core i5 2500 with a h67 motherboard instead. | ||
