Hey D Wilson,

Sorry about the oversight. RAM is 2 GIGs at 667Hz.

In my first attempt in which I got the camera effect I had shadows on "Extreme". I took that down to High and the performance is still choppy.

I don't have FRAPS loaded but it seems I need to do this. I was so shocked that I am going to do some 3DMark 06 tests this evening to check that I am benchmarking around the correct numbers.

But do you think I should have to remove shadows on such a machine!!? If so then I'm a bit disappointed.

When you say everything on max, do you mean absolutely everything!!?? Because some settings are labelled as "Highest" or other levels above just "High".

Econ,

Thanks for the correction.
