.5 FPS slideshow

Hi all!

I am brand new to SL and having some serious issues with it. Let me first list my system specs.

3.4Ghz Intel Pentium 4 CPU
1.5GB of PC-5400 mem
BFG Nvid 6800 GT OC (pci-express)

I run games like battlefield2,fear,hl2,oblivion,graw on this machine pretty well some with all settings maxed. But for some reason I get .5-10 fps in SL. It is completly unplayable. I have even turned down every setting to lowest in graphics and adv graphics options and it only gets a a few fps better. I tried setting the affinity to both my cpu's because I have HT it acts as 2 cpus and that did not fix it. I killed all background process and I do not use norton or any a/v/firewall programs. I have gone through every option and could find nothing that would fix this. Should I just wait for next version? Am I missing something here?

Lindens... could we get some kind of sticky on this subject ?

please ;_;


heres one <o.o> and prob about 100 other threads burried.

Basicly
battlefield2,fear,hl2,oblivion,graw = games, thats optimized for fast fps/rendering/every texture tweaked.

SL is not a game = no controll of ingame content what so ever, hello lag hell, texture sizes that can be 16mb just for one , now take one single Sim in SL that has about oh.... 5000 textures, and put that in your ram.

SL has unlimited textures , constant downloads gigs a week,
bloated scripts/avatars with so many prims (building blocks in SL) your pc will cry.

Dual core isnt supported to well, yes you can use it but for me and some other it make your avatar looks like its shaking to death, camera controll all wierd, and cpu use = 100% on one core no matter what youre doing, just how SL work. (2 core 50% each)

SL total freedom at the cost of insane rendering power > cpu, vid card will do something in future , now it does squat , always thought of SL like 3dstudio light, it renders everything when you are near it, ow ow


Things in SL to know
Local Light on = crapola, its in work for next update with hardware light (currently software)

Avoid big crowds, its going to take forever to rez them

Weekend performance sucks :q
