Recently purchased barebonez combo of a P4 2.4GHz with ECS P4VXASD2+ motherboard. I have installed two 512k sticks or ram. The recent problem that I am having is this: When I attempt to run a game program (Ghost Recon) I notice that it takes up 40-50% CPU prior to game play. I have comparied this to my other systems which only use 2-10% CPU for the exact same game. (Other systems are: P3 1GHz w/ 256k and an AMD 1.4 w/ 512k) If there is any one that can assist w/ this problem, it would be greatly appreciated it. I will include my DX read out below: System Information ------------------ Time of this report: 3/21/2003, 14:30:27 Machine name: GHOSTRECON Operating System: Microsoft Windows 2000 Professional (5.0, Build 2195) Service Pack 3 Language: English (Regional Setting: English) System Manufacturer: ECS System Model: P4VXASD2+ BIOS: 11/01/02 Processor: Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 2.40GHz Memory: 1024MB RAM Page File: 66MB used, 2396MB available Primary File System: n/a DirectX Version: DirectX 8.1 (4.08.01.0881) DX Setup Parameters: Not found DxDiag Version: 5.01.2600.0881 32bit Unicode ------------ DxDiag Notes ------------ DirectX Files Tab: No problems found.

Kyle Why did you install all that hardware if you don't want it to be used? With the RAM you have it allows more access to the CPU. It is in no way unusual for the CPU to hit 100% when loading a new program. I can't see any problems, A+ Tech

I agree Brown1955, a lot of info there. Kyle there also some performance fixes at this site that may help with that particular game. >Link Name
