I have just re-installed JKA after updating my system, basically a new build. Here are my system specs:
Silverstone Strider 750w Modular Power Supply CORSAIR XMS2 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 BFG Tech NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GTX 768MB PCI Express 2 250 gig Seagate SATA hard drives (3gbps) in RAID 0 EVGA NVIDIA nForce 680i SLI ATX Intel Motherboard Creative X-Fi Fatal1ty FPS 7.1 Channels 24-bit 96KHz PCI Intel Core 2 Duo E6300 Conroe w/ ZALMAN 9700 LED Monitor: Dell UltraSharp 3007WFP -- 30” Xp Pro w/sp 2 Latest Nvidia drivers, 97.92 No background apps or anti virus running (during JKA) When in the academy map I am getting around 9-13 fps. I have messed with all the in game settings tried everything maxed out and everything on low, no real difference, perhaps 10 or so fps change from low to max. I have also re-read the FPS guide that is available, yet again no help there. JKA ran great for me before. Perhaps it is the dell monitor, can JKA use a 30” correctly? Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thank You _______________  Nimravus

Well setting the affinity didn't work nor did a rollback on the drivers. What ended up working for me was to install the game on my Vista Ultimate partition and setting it to run in compatibility mode, I currently get around 90fps on the new map, my thanks again for the help/suggestions guys and my apologies for the long delay in response! (started IFR training).

Seeing as you're using a dual-core cpu, here's an easy fix:
Get yourself a tool that minimizes jka, or just run it in window mode. Once you've started up jka, go to the task-manager, right click on jamp.exe and set the affinity. Uncheck one of the two cpu's listed, and close the task-manager again. Game should run just fine now :p This kind of problems usually arise because xp isn't really optimized for dual-core cpu's - only being able to recognize it as a form of advanced hyperthreading which then results in poor process management etc. Since quake3 recognizes only one cpu, it goes all OMGWTF and sends information to both because xp is telling it to. _______________ Find out more about the Jedi Academy Aurochs here and more about Masta here!
