Follow up to the original question, why not turn the PC off when not in use? Is there any advantage to that? I think that it's a big waste of energy.rlc-madcat
I turn it off to conserve...some believe that turning on and off shortens the life of the components. I believe that the restarts only reduces the lifespan slightly. On the other hand constant heats also shorten the lifespan as well. Would you leave your TV on without watching it continuously for days or a week? I doubt it...

You can try a free partition manager like EASEUS but I have never tried it myself so can't confirm that it works well; I used Partition Magic in the past to do exactly what you want and it did the job perfectly so you might want to spend the $ just to be safe...

What is the exact error, and what are your system specs?

eh? I have a 24" monitor and play all of my games at 1920x1200 _all_ of them look better with AA enabled. Just because I play games at 1920x1200 doesn't mean I can't see the jaggies! Sucks that some games lag like all hell with it enabled, but if they don't God they look good!CellAnimation

I didn't mean to say that you won't see a difference, but only that the differences will be much less pronounced at higher resolutions. It makes sense that you would not see as much of an improvement for x8 AA at 1920x1200 than at 1280x1024...

Actually it makes a bigger difference for lower game resolutions, in other words if you have a high-end PC and play your games at resolutions much higher than 1280x1024, then you DON'T need to enable anti-aliasing even though you PC can handle it better than older, slower PCs....

Another tip is to shut down all unnecessary programs running in the background.

There is no such thing as a driver for your CPU.

The Intel T2250 CPU has a 1.73 GHz clock speed, so there is nothing wrong with your PC:
