You misunderstood genius. I am a 25 still because I have not played ranked games since becoming a 25. I was guessing at where I would be had I continued, due to the level of others that I have played and beaten lately (unranked). After a match and before(360) you see other players' level, and this is what I was basing it on. Frankly, I don't care what level I am, since it really does not correctly label an individual's skill.

yea but your wasting money. If you havent noticed, agp is being phased out.

im just upset that ddr2 is being used. Its slower.....It has a higher frequency but since its latency is alot higher, its actually slower than a good stick of ddr pc3200.

what processor/mobo do you have OmniosSpartan?

o yea and umm 4 gigs doesnt necessarily mean your preformance will increase. Sometimes it actually slows it down cause it has to do alot more searching. Run 3dmark05 with different amounts of ram. I found that my computer runs the fastest with 1.5 gigs of ram. I borrowed ram from my friends and benchmarked after each increase of ram. Past 1.5 gigs I kept on scoring less. Check out some articles about this, it can really help you increase preformance.

Also the AR is actually good in CQB now and no longer a glorified baseball bat.

Umm... there are Geforce 7 series AGP cards out right now.
They aren't being phased out yet from what I have seen.

Dude I know you dont have the amd fx 60, or the a8n mobo. You said that you have a geforce fx5500, and that card is agp. The A8N SLI premium doesnt have any agp slots.

A8n Sli premium

You said you have AGP when you said you have a geforce fx 5500(which are only AGP). They dont make the fx5500's in pci-express. Find somewhere that has them in pci-e and I'l believe you. Until then we will all know your lying.
