I'm wondering if the refresh rate has anything to do with it. I know V-sync is disabled in my driver settings, so I shouldn't be limited by that. My refresh rate on my monitor is 75hz. Maybe there's a setting in my configs that conflicts with it? My computer runs smooth as silk. I've tweaked it with numerous sites and guides across the net. Tweaktown and Tweak3d are my favorites.

I'm starting to think that it's just my video card that's the bottleneck. Guess I need to save up for a nice Radeon or something. I'm also going to try getting a soundcard, since I've been told before that it's best to use a PCI card rather than any onboard audio.

Thanks for the suggestions so far, keep em coming.
