Framming while turnning around

[LECHIP]

Sup guys.
My problem is quite annoying: i play w descent frames 30-60, but lately, whenever i turn around (specially in those quick cc firefights), i suffer a sustantial fps slowdown which mean that usually i get killed in rather simple fights.
It annoyng, any suggestions?

Hardware EAX disabled.

You need to change it to software. The Live series does not support hardware rendering. Try that and see if it will help at all.

Well putting that into Software did quie a lot to my prob, now the turnning prob is gone, still i have some serious FPS slowdowns in regular intervals of 3 seconds when a map just loads.
Any help trying to reduce that "just charged map" lag?, (it dissapears after a while but at the beggining of the round its annoying).

The lag after a loading a map was gone after I upgraded to 2 GB RAM.

2gb of ram will sort it.

I know it seems like overkill, doesnt it? 2GB of RAM... I thought the same thing... But then I got a 1GB stick to go with my 2x 512 sticks (not an ideal setup, I know) and tried the game just for fun with 2 gigs in....

Crazy the difference it made.

Well RAMs arent that expensive anymore. I remember I bought once 1 MB RAM for my old 486 CPU and payed the same as i did for 1 GB DDR 400 now....
