Norton System Works Proffesional 2k4, What could make this happen, im getting pings of 400+ and i want it to stop.

"Right now the freakin card sucks.... it is not doing any better than my integrated vid system." Why are you blaming the video card? I'd take a look at the celly 733/mobo/256Mb SDRAM package the vid card is setting in. And, that MX440 is better than your onboard. That and your opening statement should tell you something is up other that the video card.

well for some reason before i installed the vid card the graphics were almost the same. I admit it does work somewhat better..... the 256 was just updated to 512 sunday night... and the 744mhz cant be updated since its a hp... argh i hate hps. but heck i got it for only $150

i wouldn't exactly blame it on the video card 'cause i have the same card and i can play just about any game i throw at it. like MOHAA(SPEARHEAD AND Breakthrough), BATTLE FIELD 1942 AND MUCH MORE. I GET AN AVERAGE OF 30-35 FPS. my setup is this: athlon xp 2000 512 crucial PC2100 40GB WD 20GB IBM evga gf mx440 128 ddr i would have to say ur bottleneck is that celeron.

Skipcox Computer is scanned every morning at 6am for viruses, and norton cleansweep runs right after and spybot runs after that... RF Yah i think the celeron is my prob, but it seems to work perfectly for games like Unreal Tournament and the new Star Wars
