For those who do not have a 'dedicated' gaming PC.. As in your may have 'other' uses and 'other' software installed.. You may want to give this util a try

In that it will optimize your PC for those who don't know how to optimize thier PC.. It turns off alot of background stuff that 'may' be the cause of why you with your hardware is getting less FPS than someone else with the same hardware

Do you have hyper-threading on?

I have all this on already Ace, but are you saying my computer is not a dedicated gaming PC? Did you look at the spec of my comp? That card alone cost me £500 last week, it's the latest card from Nvidia.

Where do I look for hyper -threading to see if it's switch on?

When your loading your pc go into the bios, its in there. Its different from one motherboard make to another so google your MB and hyperthreading.

Multi Threading which is also Hyper Threading is Enabled. Can you tell me if this is this the correct setting?

Yeah I am pretty sure mine was called Multi Threading as well, do you have a Gigabyte MB?

Also 4GB ram is way less the the amount i would use in a gaming rig!!!

I have the same board as you, is yours enabled or disabled? What does it do?

@robtek 4gig is fine and you would lose the overclock if you add more then 4 gig.
