Drivers are the ones released just 3 days ago :v:
I think it's the ram. Can DDR2 667 ram be fast?
Specifically, this ram?

I'm assuming you have the driver hotfix for your card, yes? My guess is that it's either your RAM or your sound card. Try disabling hardware sound. As for RAM, perhaps the voltages are not high enough, thus causing memory issues?

Hi I have a question on updating my current comp.
I currently have: (HP Slimline)(160 watts)
-Motherboard
-3GB Ram
-AMD Athlon 64X2 4450e
-Nvidia 9500GS
I'm having thoughts on whether these upgrades are compatible or should I just build a new one.
Upgrades:
-Same MoBo
-Case
-PSU
-AMD Athlon 64 X2 6400+
-4GB Ram
-GPU
Also whats the difference between a PCI Express x16 and a PCI Express x16 2.0?
EDIT: I just recently overclocked my current GPU. My gaming score thing in Vista went from a 5.4 to a 5.5. Is this a big difference or a small one.
Re: Going to build a computer? Need advice/suggestions? Come here!
I don't see how you can fit that PSU and graphics card into a slimline.....
Re: Going to build a computer? Need advice/suggestions? Come here!
Which is why I posted another Case for the upgrade.

Increased bandwidth transfer I believe. PCI-e 2.0 cards can be used in old PCI-e 1.0 slots provided they're 16x, they just run slower.

How much better is the 4850 compared to the 9800 GT? I wanted to get a 4850 but I don't know if any of the dual slot versions can fit in my case. I could get the ones with reference coolers but I heard they get really hot.
Re: Going to build a computer? Need advice/suggestions? Come here!
Quite a bit faster. It's competition is the 9800GTX+

You can fix that by modifying the fan speed up from 28% to 40%.
