It *sounds* as if it's doing something in the background & is quite busy, has been since yesterday late afternoon now, I've ran a full system virus scan, no avail. Computer has been on for hours on end this morning, still something happening in the background, so damn slw, it's that bad when I type the computer is skipping letters!! Really winding me up now.

These stats are pretty much telling me I'm getting good performance, but man I don't know, during that first demo it was pretty consitent at between 20-30 fps a second, that's normal?

What'd you need to know mate? It's a difficult one this, because maybe my interpritation of the performance could differ from another, is there some kind of programme out there I can run to test the system performance?

I'm playing at max. resolution with settings at high. Don't get me wrong guys, the performance is alright on maxed settings, but I do get a very noticeable ammount of slowdown during the more demanding sections of games. I think I'll have a look at the drivers, I'm pretty sure my graphics card one is upto date.

I'm starting to wonder whether I'm expecting too much? I'd seriously hope not for the 1k I shelled out over the rig listed below. But the fact is, I'm not getting the kind of flawless performance I want on games such as Bioshock & even a game pretty dated now in Oblivion. So with that said, I'm pushing the boat further & am looking at upgrading on what I have below. Bare in mind this is a brand new system, what would you sugest I add to what's already there? Thanks.

I decided to drop from the Ultra to the GTX in-line with the overall opinion on here, but may go dual GTX when I can afford it. Anyway, the final rig I ordered.

Intel® CoreTM 2 Quad Q6700 2.66GHz 8MB Cache 1066MHz FSB

768MB NVIDIA® GeForce® 8800 GTX

2GB - 2 x 1024MB

250 GB Serial ATA 3 Gbit/s, 7,200 RPM with 8MB Cache

700 Watt Multi-GPU Power Supply

19" Dell UltraSharp 1907FP Black Flat Panel LCD Monitor

Now I'm hoping to be able to max out all high-end games with flawless performance, can I acheive that with the above? If not, what further additions should I make?
