for game playing, u can install additional copy of windows and tweak it down to the lowest. disabling everything not needed by the game.. it may only save u a few MB on memory but if u turn off a lotta things, it makes a big difference
 
running hard disk in certain raid configs also increases throughput.. making system work faster..most of the performance bottle necks are at the hard disks

I have a separate login for game playing with most of the auto-start stuff disabled.

Lead me not into temptation... I know the short cut, follow me.

okies. *THE* reason why it is not giving much of a performance boost is because your motherbaord is only agp4... I believe that the fx5 series from gf was pretty much the upper limit of performance for the 4x format. Being as how the 850XT is designed (ideally) for pci-x, and the card itself is AGP8x, its going to to bottleneck badly... Basically, to get it to run at its best you need a agp8 MB.... just be thankful you didnt plug the card into and agp2 MB, or it would have fried the card and/or the MB...

Thanks for that!

What exactly is the 8x and 4x?  Bandwidth or something?
