true.. and you can tell its a good one because it cost 10 times what cheapest ones cost... but worth every penny! If i remember correctly i spent about £80 on my power supply.

I would disable the 16km atmosphere. It might help a little.

Thanks for the help everyone!
![]() I think I'm going to go down the cooling road. I'm going to clean the case as has been suggested. I have also noticed that the power supply fan is not running. I'm assuming that it should be. I'm going to replace the power supply with a more powerful unit.(Currently have a stock 250W. Will install a 300W.) Also there is no case cooling fan installed. I'm going to install one. Hopefully, these actions will help. ![]()

Onboard Sound cards are "resourses eaters"...
I solved in the past my FPS problems installing an X-Fi, and disabling my onboard one. Good if you can add a PCI dedicated sonund card, you will save lot of CPU resources. ![]() |

Also, something to keep in mind with power supplies is that wattage is energy consumption not energy output. So look at the 12V amp rating of the power supply. For that older system I'd look for something with at least 18 amps on the 12V rail.

It really depend on the card your using and the Mother boards. Results may vary. |

However onboard sound does use the cpu to process it's processes and therefore does add strain on the system. Beside onboard sound sounds crap too :p

Gain in performance and better sound? That's what Creative wants you to think. Because it really takes so much processing power to play .wav files that you need an add-on card.
