Games running slow on windows 7 home basic

by anighose25 Sep 27, 2011 2:49AM PDT

<span id="INSERTION_MARKER">I have a pc with the following specs: Intel DG31PR motherboard, Intel dual core E5300 2.66 Ghz processor, 2GB ram,ATI Radeon 4670HD Graphics Card.My operating system is Windows 7 Home Basic. I'm having problems with playing games. They're really slow. I can play them after installing gamebooster, but after sometime the game becomes too slow. Previously I had windows xp sp3. I had no problem there. Can you please help me. I want to know which part should I upgrade? Should I upgrade my processor or ram. How can I play games without gamebooster? Please help.

I wonder.

I see 2GB RAM and I wonder if this is the 32 bit version?

I'd like to see the usual 4GB RAM, 64 bit version so I would not have to use gamebooster.

PS. About installing "Windows"

by r. proffitt Forum moderator Sep 27, 2011 3:24AM PDT

I'm finding that home installs are often incorrect, forgot a driver or app.

My question is simple.

-> Is it time for the OS to go get the right drivers?

It's been over 2 decades and the maker of this OS and the industry has had plenty of time to fix this.
