I don't know your CPU, but I bet it's pretty low too. You could give us your complete system specs and folks could give you an opinion as to what you could do to improve the current system (if keeping money down to a minimum) BUT it is really high time for you to build another game rig if you can put out the bucks. Download and run this: http://www.cpuid.com/softwares/cpu-z.html if you would like to compare your current system to what folks are playing with today. They have forums for posting and comparing your 'score'. I would bet your old rig would be pretty low on all counts. I am impressed that you play at all, you must have replaced everything but the case since your original build to be running as well as you are. Awards

That will get you to higher FPS. Hell, I got 2 8500GT's that I will donate if you pay the shipping from U.S.A to your house... but you would do better going farther up the food chain than those antiques as well. I suppose your mobo doesn't support pciE does it. Your motherboard expansion slot(s) [AGP, PCI] will dictate what vid card you can upgrade to (thus me asking what your rig specs are ) Of course, if you know all that.. and just want opinion of ram or vid.. it's definitely vid. BTW.. I've enjoyed playing with you in ACE, and you seem to be holding your own very well. I completely understand though.. hope you can upgrade a bit and get a little leg up. Awards

I am using a config i found on www.fnatic.com under downloads it is called stevyconfig_2011 it might help it took my fps from about 35 now it goes up to about 70 and sometimes into the 100's. I am also in the UK up in Scotland.

Newegg still has these http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814102851 10.12 Catalyst HOTFIX Driver version is the highest that works for now. Latest 11.5 will blue screen xp a quick look shows Newegg the cheapest even lower than the cards on ebay.
