OK, my system is way above requirements: P4 3.2ghz, 1GB RAM, Geforce 6800 512mb memory, 240GBHDD - I am running a 2mbps Internet connection through TalkTalk (In the UK).
Recently I have been experiencing intermittent FPS drops ingame, I have recently upgraded my GFX Card and installed The First Decade - however everything was running fine after both of these events (at 75fps on max settings)
My pings are not great as I share the connection with another PC but that doesn't seem to be related.
I have reinstalled ren, both using my original cd and the first decade, tried with/without renguard.
The other computer on my connection has had similar problems but not to the same extent.
When this occurs my FPS drops to anything as low as 3 and the game becomes completely unplayble for a short while, then will come back to normal, this happens every few minutes.
Any ideas would be appreciated, please bear in mind that I am a bit of a n00b when it comes to changing settings etc so feel free to speak to me in lamens terms.
Thanks in advance for any assistance.

it is an AGP x8 - this one to be precise: http://www.ebuyer.com/UK/product/107115
Lots of people doing lots of things? like Messenger programs IRC/MSN/Xfire etc, I will shut them all down and see if I get any improvement.
My monitor is and always has been running at 60hz, my game,connection,fps were all acting superbly with pings averaging 100 and fps of 50-75 pretty muchat all times until recently.

BIOS Settings!!! Sound card Settings!!!
If your Motherboard has on-board video and/or sound, make sure these are disabled in the BIOS. Also, make sure the AGP 8x setting is selected. If you are actually using the on-board sound, install a sound card.
P.S. I use Avast without any issues. Also, some motherboards will only allow 4x on the AGP Bus.
hehe, I use AntiVir Gaurd. Avast is on the old pc.

2 meg connection...?
i was with telewest till it became too slow. it maybe the contract you made with talktalk, speeds arent for gaming etc. try it with many people in the server and try it with few people in the server.
plus the time in which it takes data to go from the disk drive and HDD(s) through the CPU and the GPU may take it time at cirtain times...

Have tried it with all programs turned off, will reconfigure the network to have the internet connection coming directly to my machine to ensure I am getting best connection.
Some time after, around 3 weeks I think and it was OS that is all on one setup disk for my PC that is already configured correctly for my machine.
I am currently using the drivers provided my my graphics card.

When did it start happening did you update any programs/ downloaded something via p2p or downloaded a strange file?
Try posting a hijack-this log on a proffesional forum.. or just post it here and then ile have a look at if there's any strange processes running. Also Avast is pretty decent, but try a different scanner like Nod32 or Kaspersky.. it could be going past it.
Also you could also see a format as a option.. but that's the easy way if everything fails you could try a format. If it's still doing it after that, then you know that its a hardware issue.

I defragged my HDD, it was completely fragmented (no idea why as its recently been formatted)
I plugged my internet connection directly to my PC
I removed Renegade/Renguard completely and re-installed using my original renegade disc.
Somewhere along the line something fixed it, I can only assume it was removing/reinstalling ren but I had done that previously with no affect - so idk.
Tried most of the suggestions on this thread previously, so something else may have helped and just needed the reinstall to correct the problem, sorry to be so vaugue - would suggest directing anyone with similar problems to this thread as a lot of people have contributed some good ideas.
Thanks again

. But then it wouldn't be randomly going down but rather when you're in big action scenes.
