*slaps forehead* I'm sorry, I DO have SP3 installed. I'm just used to typing XP SP2. I tried out Warmonger and the PhysX stuff is working,...
Um, I'm having the same "Wrong DirectX version detected" errors, and I'm using Windows XP Pro SP2. I know I have DirectX 9.0c installed, but it...
I haven't been able to reinstall XP because I need this computer to do work. I may be able to do this tonight, but I'm not sure yet. :(

I just think the video card is passing off much of its processing duties to the CPU, which is causing the CPU usage spikes.
I'm seeing these spikes during games, flash animations, videos, Firefox, emulators, and even while dragging a window around. My CPU usage never...

I'm a speakers guy, but I'm pretty happy with my two speaker setup. I have nothing against 5.1 or 7.1 setups... it's just that noise goes through...
