Hey all,

When I play Soldier of Fortune 2 I get some serious video lag. Its an older game and I have a good system, im not sure what could be causing the lag. Ive tried pretty much everything ranging from lowering all graphics settings to removing all anti aliasing/ anisotrophic, installed new video drivers, re installed direct x, freed up disk space.

Only one small HDD with O/S, Programs AND games running off of it..............I would say that's the cause. Try getting another HDD for you games to be installed on.

Abit IS7-E2

Ok, so you got a new HDD. What have you put on it? I would suggest installing your games only on one drive and see if that helps.
