Increase Performance in bios "I need Guru help"

I need help from a Guru hehe. I know i made about 30 of these type of thread but i never get a good answer so ill try to make another. This will however be my last 1 about this issue!

I got the X3100 and my 3dmark06 is low compared to other guys with this card. I got a Celeron 1,8 and 512 DDR2 ram. Yes it low on ram i know!

Anyway is is true that i can enter the bios and change a memory thing from 64 to 128 and than get better performance? I use a Compaq V3000 by the way. Can i enter Bios from this machine? To enter Bios i have to press Del or f8 when i restart? i never remember.

Is it easy to find this stuff in Bios because i really dont wanna mess my laptop up. Last time i visited bios my computer never spoke to me again....

The last question is, can i flash my bios or update my motherboard for a better performance?

 

i know you don't want to hear it but seriously upgrade the ram. it's only $15 for a gig of ram now. the ram is the one bottlenecking your X3100 to its potential.

 

to be honest a celeron 1.8 and 512 ram, is a bit dinasour now days and not something you should be gaming on unless your playing very old games ! and you r better of using 3d mark 05 and not scoring it with 06 as your bound to get low scores !

check compaq site for downloads for your machine and bios updates and try n get the lastest drivers for everything

my advice is use that laptop just for basics and internet etc,not for gaming , and dont go messing with your bios if you dont know what your doing !

 

thanks for reply, i play HL2 well on med\high settings so the performance is okay just my 06 score which is so low. I will get another 512 stick with ram though and ill check compaq sites thanks

 

Most laptop BIOS's have very limited options. Most items are unchangeable.

And, as others have mentioned, do get an additional 1 GB of RAM. It's very cheap and will make a world of a difference.
