Im running 2 crossfired ATI Radeon 4850's. I dont think that they are performing as good as they should be, im running them on

Windows Vista Ultimate -32 bit

4 Gigs of Ram

AMD Phenom 9850 Quad-Core Black Edition 2.50GHz

And..MSI K9A2 Platinum

Any advice would be helpful, thanks!

With that 32bit OS, you're not fully utilizing all 4gb of that ram either.

Yea first Think I noticed Your not using 4GB of ram, your using 2-3, Over 3GB of Ram and you'll need a 64bit OS Also, overclock your CPU and see if you get better results

2-3gb or ram is fine for todays games. There will be no frame rate increase, although microstuttering may come along less. But yeah, you need a new processor. Phenom II x3 are cheap, considering the performance.

Nahhh thats not it. I only use Windows 7 32bit and Windows XP 32bit. No game really uses all that ram, trust me.

I am pretty sure its his CPU, and if it isnt. Then maybe he has a faulty component(One of the GPUs, PSU maybe, Mobo maybe, etc.)

that processor u have is about equal to a Q6600, so now its not the processor. What s your fps yor doubt in wut game? The 32bit os i believe is your problem because each 4850 has 512mb of vram, and toghter they have 1gb. In a 32bit os, roughly 3.25gbs is the max, so when u have 1gb of vram the system only uses 2.25gbs or less of your actual ram. which can muck things up.
