Can you post your computer specs? that would be a good starting point.

Kind of a noob at this but i have 5 gb of ram and and a nvidia geforce 9100 card

5gb RAM is good if its not some old 333mhz. The GeForce 9100 should be passable (lower settings), but you should consider looking at a newer GTX card as a replacement if you want to run higher graphics settings.

Are you running on Windows7 by anychance?

[rjperformance926]

Yes 32

Integrated GPU's like the 9100 are usually pretty slow. Even a fairly cheap plug in card will be way faster.

Hahaha same, mines a 32 aswell.
OK this helps alot but make your computer look funny. im gonna go through step by step
Go to start menu then Right click on computer then properties.
Right side there a change settings tab, left click.
It opens a new window (system properties) now at top there a advanced tab, left click.
Where it says performance there's a settings button, left click.
First tab (visual effects) there a hole lot of options and settings, click on the "adjust for best performance" setting, Then apply.

This will make your desktop look like crap or even dinosaur! but in the long run its effective!

OK now there a second option that i advise to use but yet again you don't have too but it helps alot!
http://www.piriform.com/ccleaner
this clears up all that unwanted and unnecessary files to clear up space (e.g. internet history )

Third and final yet again your choice but once again it helps!
defraging your computer, takes along time but possibly can gain an extra 15gb at most (has for me)
you can use the default program on your computer or use a program i use http://www.freenew.net/windows/smart-de ... /68806.htm
(WARNING DOSE TAKE SEVERAL HOURS TO COMPLETE, ADVISE TO LEAVE OVERNIGHT)

ALL OF THIS IS FREE AND EFFECTIVE hope it helps!

if yall dont have the CCleaner, i highly recommend it. Much more user options then the disk cleanup.

Also try shutting down your real-time protection on your anti-virus (if you have one.) a background scan will kill your performance.
