i was playing AAops the other days and noticed my fps dropped down to 10-15 fps. i normally gets around 35-50 fps in most games. so i looks in system properties and noticed my processors listing is not there. this is what im talking about: in system propreties in the general tap. system: MS windwos xp pro version 2002 registered to: xxxxx xxxxxx xxxxxxxx computer: intel P4 1.90 1.00gb ram but this time it only shows 1.00gb ram and not the "intel P4 1.90" this happened over the weekend and now i dont know what to do... all the games runs very choppy now. ps: system restores doesnt help help

The symptoms are bad. :( The likely cause is the Pentium 4 is overheating. :( Pentium 4s unlike Athlons intentionally slow down to half speed with games being slow and jerky when a overheat condition occurs. You should check the fan and heatsink. Also, check for viruses.
