Spec
P4 3ghz
2GB Ram
Radeon X800 PRO/GTO
Vista Ultimate

its all super smooth until i play games like CnC3, CSS, it becomes rather slow and jerky.
is this vista's fault?
Graphics drivers? am using the one from the Radeon site.
its not painfully slow, but it should be a alot smoother

Any ideas? apart from install a different OS

ta

should be rephrased to vista is currently shit, stick with XP for a few more months untill everything has been fully tested with vista. Developers are still guessing at the min.
