Nice work. However I think you can improve your FPS by changing GPU. Also, you should think again about installing some AV software.

Glad to see if some of my advices can help you.:cool:

Reformat your hard drive
Reinstall windows
Update all drivers
Update windows
Tweak/disable useless vista extras(aero for example)
Install/set graphic settings on crossfire to minimums

Buy more system memory/ram if you can afford it, 2gigs is around the minimum i would recommend just to use vista, let alone playing FPS games.

Also, virus scanners will further slow your computer down. Just stop downloading unsafely, keep important information backed up, and your vista install discs on hand to reinstall if you do get a virus.

upgrade your gpu. go to the HP website to see what kind of graphics port u have... PCIE is the standard with 2 different speeds.... the HP website will tell you which ones you can support... u can buy a supper great graphics card for under 200$ us... so what like 140 euro?

if u do build your own pc, you are better off.. and don't listen to any one who tells you to run a bunch of anti virus and firewall software... all it does is slow you down.
I am running 2 homebuilt pc's that run an average of 30 days between reboots (and then only because i make a note to restart them every so often) and run NO antivirus and only windows firewall. no problems here. as long as you are carefull of what sites you go to on the internets and dont open strange e-mails viruses are not really a problem.
