Changed Vista to XP on pavilion a6330-f and low fps

Hi All
i need help, i recently bought a

Pavilion a6330f desktop Athlon 64 X2 with Dual Core technology equipped with 3 gigs of ram, Hd sata 500Gb and graphic card onboard is a 6150SE nForce 430 with 512 megs ddr2

see the link to my machine http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/...82&lc=en&cc=it&dlc=it&product=3644699&lang=it)

The 1th think i make it was formatting the HD,in order to remove Vista and installing XP, i found all the drivers, asus chipset, nvidia lastest drive, amd dual core enancher,direct x 9c,bla bla bla.. everything it seems perfect investigating into "my machine" link, i means no red or yellow items into the hardware set .BUT....... (he he..there are one but...lol)

THE GRAPHICS IS TERRIBLE TERRIBLE TERRIBLE SLOW :cry:cry:cry

and when i say slow...i man slow, i speak about running Crysis in 800x600 low configuration@10-15 fps!, if i run (or better i try to run) in 1024 is completly stunned yet from the main menu.And i can't move the mouse, for exit from the game i need to make ALT+F4
Also consider that with my old pc (a normal pentium 4, 2.4Ghz and 2 gigs of ram wih ide HD) i can run crysis in 800X600 in fluid fluid modes using an ATI agp card with 256 megs

With the pavilion i have fluid games only if i run at 320x200 ,whorste than my 1th 486dx2 66Mhz bought in the 1994 !!!!!

I searched some info into the HP site but they have not XP drivers for my model (only Vista), it's possible that the internal architecture of the asus mainboard was built only for Vista?? I think not because i found all the XP chipset driver for my motherboard.

Please help
tanks in advance for the collaboration
PS: sorry for my english

cya

 

Could you play Crysis before the OS switch?
My PC has the same chipset and video chip and my understanding is that the GeForce 6150 SE does not have the power to run Crysis. (Just got a new card, so that I CAN play it.)
Try this link and it will tell you what your current configuration is capable of running.

Hi Munskipe,
thanks for your reply..
No, i didn't tried to run crysis because i've uninstalled immediatly vista before to start to install all my games.

Thanks for the nvidia links, but these one are the same drivers i've installed.
I will try the second link (systemrequirement lab) when i will be at home.
tnx

 

C'mmon!!!6150SE?You must be joking.

This is VERY demanding game.You need more power if ya want to play this game.
8600GT 512MB it's for me the lowest requirements for this game.I mean for fluid gameplay.

 

you are 101% right, but someone can explain me why i can run crysis 800X600 fluid into my old PC (P4 2.7Mhz ,2gigs of ram,350Gb ide disk and a cheap ATI 256 megs agp card)???
I know that there are big differences between onboard cards and agp cards , but i think in any case to have now a better system than before, i speak about AMD dualcore, 3 gigs of ram sata disk and 512 megs ddr video card!!!!

 

Can you tell me what ATI card do you have?
First of all,memory is shared with CPU:
GeForce 6150
Manufacturing process: .09micron (90nm)
Core Clock: 475 MHz
Vertex Processors: 1
Pixel Pipelines: 2
Shader Model: 3
DirectX support: v9
Video playback acceleration: HD video acceleration
Outputs: VGA, DVI, Video
Memory: Shared DDR2 (socket 939/AM2) system memory (selectable through BIOS - usually 32/64/128/256 MB)

Now.google the internet and find the specification for your ATI card,and match the results.

GeForce 6150SE
GeForce 6150SE is new single-chip version of the nVidia GeForce 6100, MCP61. The MCP61 uses less power than the original C51 2-chip version of 6100 and its onboard video outperforms the 6150 in many 3D benchmarks even despite lower core frequency (425 MHz).

 

.........Problem solved, i bought a Nvidia 8600GT 1Gb ddr2 for my PCIx16 slot.
Now everything perfect, crysis 1280x1024 in maximum details , same for bioshock and assasins creed.
Thnaks for supporto

 

The 6150SE is a 128MB onboard vid chip and shares your RAM. The difference is Crysis can run on 256MB vid cards but not 128MB ones.

 

mentaz , could you plz send me the drivers for your pc ? mail me at my zapatas_gmail_com or reply here.

Thanks anyway
