So I have a desktop with an i-3 2100@3.10GHz and 6gb RAM.

I am running Shrooms mort myre fungus script and can only run 3 (all on their own client). If I run a 4th it works, but at least 2 of the clients drop down to ~8-10FPS and it really isnt worth it at that point.

My question is what can I do to maximize my capacity. I have another desktop with an i-3 in it as well that I used to run ~8 bots on perfectly fine. My cpu usage goes up to 100% on the task manager and i'm using about 4gb RAM. Would more RAM even be worth it?

Is the i-3 just getting that old?

 

Also have a GeForce Graphics Card that came with the desktop.

is normal for that cpu

But why was I able to run 8 without lag on my other i-3

Depends on the Cache of the CPU, clock speed, cores, gen, mobo, RAM, ect. Everyone things a computer is all about one part that gives speed, when its the whole PC that combines.

If you had an i7 4770k, and a GTX 450, then you would be limiting the PC to the stats of the 450, because its old and not powerful

I'd be curious if the RAM you got is the right kind for your CPU.  Like, if you got the right speed or not.  And if it's compatible with your MOBO ... if it's not then that hinders performance.

It probably is since it seems to be some shitty prebuilt

What @bushhy said was very accurate.

 

No matter the processor, the graphics card is the more important part of the PC to be looking at, especially with anything gaming related. 

 

Hope you get it figured out!
