RE: Help With Computer

Hi Steve,>my problem is i'am getting jerking every 60 seconds That sounds like disk access, watch the box and see if the disk access light comes on at the same time.>do i need more RAM ? and how could i speed computer up? Ram is fine, Not easy to speed up the computer up, better to tune MSTS to get what you want.>can install just on my extra Hard Drive and run that way? with just the game on that HD?Yes you can do that, will make a small difference.>and when i hit contol alt delete i have 26 things running ? can that be part of the problem? Yes, 98 or XP?>I played with sliders in the game don't seem to help ? 47fps sounds pretty good against my 20 to 40fps.
You could change the distance back to 1500 or 1000 and see what happens.
