Than you can just install the new drivers while he is at the gym. Besides, if he owns half the computer, I'm guessing that you own the other half.

Not really, lol
The shound card, vidio card, speakers and the DVD-driver is his, he bought them for his own money

My mom bouth the computer thouth, he have just upgrade it some

Ok what you just said made no sense at all.

Stefan, I don't think it's the indexing. I tried turning it off by right clicking my C drive and disabling it but it didnt work. Even when I restarted and tried it again. I have windows XP as well but it takes me over a minutes to open, maybe 3 minutes. e.e;

XP is the worst so far in the windows line of operating systems. I'd prefer the blue screen of death to the incredible ammounts of lag that I get off of XP.

I don't get any lag at all from XP.

He did hehe. Until I fixed his computer. He gets a bit still, it requires too much to run.

I use XP and everything runs fine on it i just need to buy a better video and sound cards

What do you guys recommend? Because I play of lot of games on my computer. (i.e. Graal, Counter-Strike, WC III, etc.)

I know a good amount about computers but not as much as all of you I guess i could learn a thing or two from everyone here

Close out all the stuff in your system tray (by the clock) except your anti virus stuff and the stuff you need, works great for me

Sound card doesn't really matter; pick up a Hercules Gamesurround Fortissimo III 7.1 for around $40 if you really want a new sound card that bad.

As far as video cards go you have to decide price / performance ratio. In my opinion probably the best video card in the price / performance ratio is the ATI Radeon 9600 Pro, which is around $178 on www.newegg.com. AGP8x, DX9 spec, will play all existing and all future games for the foreseeable future more than adequately at high resolutions with antialiasing and anisotropic filtering enabled.

I had the same problem with my GeForce 4 lol. I updated it from the company I got it from and it was fine
The Graphics card it self lagged my Graal but nothing else.
