    2 GB stick = 3GB DDR2

    What did you remove? the 1GB or the 2GB stick.

    You had that same config when you had the 7300 installed?

    maybe becouse that 1 day my computed shutted it self off and made a BIG BUZZYING sound then it turned it self back on and still logged in on WIndows i was like wtf???

    maybe it had a side effect and broke a Ram card???

    Yes, it sounds like it.

    Also.. make sure you use modules of the same size, that is also part of the performance problem.

    What is the same size?

    a 1GB stick and a 2GB stick are not the same size.

    Are you using 1 x 2GB module or 2 x 1GB modules to make 2GB right now.

    Do you have 1 stick or 2 sticks of ram (without your brothers)?

    Ok... Then if you can get another 2GB stick.. test together.

    If you only have other 1GB Sticks.. take out the 2GB stick.

    crazy, but possible.

    You are missing out on Dual channel properly though with a 1GB stick and a 2GB stick.

    You have 2 or 4 ram slots?

    ok.. still try to use 2 sticks of the same size, that gives best performance.

    Also... that 2GB stick is actually recognized as 2GB? Surprising on that older chipset.

    Another point... even though you have solved your problem you haven't said that you managed to update your driver successfully...

    Where did you download the driver from? If you got it from the card manufacturer it will be out of date even though you downloaded and installed a few days ago. Make sure you get the drivers from the nVidia website.

    Also the 500-600 PSU recomendation is for SLI use. This is when you are running two cards together. 400w should be enough. I would consider removing one of the CD drives though. You dont really need two.
