How do I fix frame rate issues in some games?

i have been trying to play quake 3 arena, but for some reason it lags badly. i thing the problem lies in ym dual core processor. if so, how do i use only one processor? is it possible?|||Can I have your dual core CPU, if you don't want it?


:)





Having the dual core feature makes your programs run FASTER. Anyway, you can't disable anything regarding it because that's how your CPU is made.





What is the brand and model of your video card? Which graphics chip does it use? For graphically intensive games like DOOM, you should have 256 MB of video RAM on your video card and you need a fast video card.


Otherwise, you'll have to disable 3-D features with whatever game you are playing.





For example, I have a crappy, old video card which uses the NVIDIA 5200 graphics chip. In order for me to run Painkiller decently, I have to go into the game's Options screen and lower/disable some features. Disabling Shadows and Dynamic Lighting in games will make dramatic speed improvements in games. Also, close any unnecessary programs running in the background and defragment the hard drive partition that you installed your game in.
