Rome:Total War freeze up problems

[jacko]

Just wondering if anybody could help me with this little problem of mine. I recently upgraded my pc to 1.5 Gigabytes of Ram and installed a 3d Fuzion Graphics card for my PCI motherboard. Now, it had freezing problems before at 512 MB of ram, so hearing advice from someone that my ram was too low, I upgraded to another gig to see if that would help. To no avail. Any advice? Suggestions?

Whats your total computer specs.

Well, my hard drive is 60GB. And I have a 2.8 GHz intel Pentium 4. Thing is, when I tried playing my older game of Medieval:Total War, I did notice a remarkable slowdown with the new graphics card. I can't understand why this is. I only have a PCI motherboard, so I have some limitations, but still. It should be running faster with my new graphics card................

What was ur old graphics card

and whats your new one

Well, I never had a graphics card in my system before. My pc is actually a Insignia D300a I bought at Best Buy. But my new card is a NVidia GeForce 6200 with 128MB. Again, my crappy pci motherboard limits my options.

You thought about a new MB ...They are really cheap .... prolly cure alot of problems

Did you try taking out that old stick of RAM?

yeah, I should probably upgrade to a new motherboard. Since the one I have now only has PCI slots, I'm kinda screwed.

"Did you try taking out that old stick of RAM?"

Well, the problem was the same when I just had the gig of ram as when i added the old ram back in for 1.5 gig. Actually, since I did download the new drivers for the graphics card and turned off my anti virus program things have started to improve.........

Did you try updating the graphics card drivers?

Argghgh! Now its worse. I even updated the drivers for my new card. Now Medieval:total war crashes everytime I load the game! A warning for everyone. Do NOT get the NVIDIA GeForce 6200! It is a piece of doggy poo!
