I'll correct you. computers have had PCI-e for over 4 years now. And PCI-e 2 is backwards compatible. Link to comment

Lux Posted March 27, 2009 Content Count: 6712 Joined: 03/06/08 Status: Offline Share Posted March 27, 2009 Yeah so....bumped this because its still happening EVERYTHING is on the lowest settings. Some nice 600x400 (or similiar) screen res and minimal graining so....looks like half life 1 or something. Yet this always comes up and crashes my L4D > Is it because I've set high CPU priority to L4D? I thought this would help the situation but, maybe its doing the opposite? Link to comment

Lux Posted March 27, 2009 Content Count: 6712 Joined: 03/06/08 Status: Offline Share Posted March 27, 2009 Well Empire Total War works fine and that obviously has better graphics so seems strange to me... Never had a problem like this before (except on l4d)....and Daze no point buying more ram just for l4d when I already got 2gb on xp. Link to comment
