Thanks for the reply! What do you want me to send you about the CPU? I don't really have any receipts or anything but I can send you a dxdiag or a cpuZ report. I think the only difference is that the K series have a built in overlock. They have a normal rate of 3.4 but can push to 3.9 if needed (as far as I understand). Also, what is EFF? With all of that gone...I'm not left with much lol. I haven't looked at your preferences yet, but do they essentially look the same? I've heard so many great things about CoT, WATER, and Apocalypse. It seems like you are essentially gutting my game of everything :p Understandably this will increase my performance but I guess I should just try taking one or two away at a time to see what happens. The only thing I am is confused about is for a few of the ones you listed, you give no explanation. For example, Apocalypse-The Spell Package.esp. You listed it and a few others after it. Are you saying these are performance drainers, or bugged? As of now I'm about to leave, but when I get back on I'm going to try running it with these taken out. Hopefully it will boost me up enough to where I can take it. If not, I might start having to look at your preferences. Took away Locational Damage.esp Rainbows.esp No Skill Limit.esp ShootingStars.esp dr_bandolierDG.esp Dr_Bandolier.esp Added the Grass on Steroids and changed the grasssize to 120 Once again thanks for the help and I'll report back with my findings tomorrow. Out of curiousity, what mods do you use, and what FPS do you find acceptable and what is your rig?
