Well it looks like Mike was at least part right.

The last time I flashed my bios I guess it changed the fsb for my cpu and had it running at 1.2Ghz, not the 2.2 I thought I had.

After getting that set right I went from 30fps to 50fps on the Aquamark3 benchmark. Getting an avg. of almost 50fps in DODS.
I think I can live with this. Woot ya'll

BTW..... Nvidia ntuner sucks.

Apparently this new update has solved a lot of problems people have been having - has anyone noticed a difference?

I changed so much in such a short time i'm not sure what did what.

I do have my v/c over clocked now, and its nothing to see my fps in the 70s or 80s during normal game play. It still drops down to the 30s on some maps though. As long as I have no lag and my v/c isn't getting hot ( runnning at about 49 to 53 Deg. c ) I ain't messin with nothing else.
All I can say is WOOT ya'll!!!

I just upgraded my BIOS hoping that would help but.... it didn't.

EDIT: It DID help!! I'm now getting 40-60 FPS!!

I have PCI-Express so there's no BIOS option to change...

Not sure if it can be changed at all....guess I'll have to buy a decent graphics card!
