Poor graphic perfomance on my nice new pc - and tried it all, it seems

I'd also get more RAMZ. How are you going to get twins on that rig?
This is win.

Are you running the game from the annoying EA launcher thing? If so, don't - it likes to phone home causing lag.
I don't think your problem is hardware related (although I would definitely get a bigger PSU before your rig explodes). How many character files does you hood have? I can't remember whether the BV patch fixed the tour guide generating or not. What hacks are you running? How much CC do you have? And just so we get a good picture of how you run your game, do you have all SPs and EPs and do you play from a no cd crack?

I want Zaza's rig.
No! Addison is my bitch! Although I have to admit, the 4 GB of RAM did cause me some problems. I had eight sets of twins, nearly in a row, before it finally adjusted.

So many questions, so little time!
I think I may have found the problem.
When setting the affinity the game has for only one of the two processors, I never checked in the task manager that it was actually using only the one processor specified. When I used process explorer, however, I noticed that the game still used the other processor from time to time, even though it had been told to only use one. And the periods that it was using the other processor was exactly the time that the game stuttered, as shown in the attached screen capture.
So I tried setting the affinity with Task Assign, to no avail. Then I found another program, ForceCore, which is supposed to do the same thing. But I got an error message - oxc0000135 - when I tried to run the program. Back to the drawing board once more. After doing a bit of research, I found that the error message seems to mean that the program needs MS's .NET installed. Which is the next thing I will do. I just wonder whether it needs .NET 1.1 or 2.0? Never mind, I'll install both.
And I'll update this thread as soon as I have done all that. And answer all the many, many questions. I'm selfish, I first want to try my little solution.
Pity I can only try it when I get home from work.
Sigh.

OK, first all the answers to your questions:

No, I'm only running the base game until I sort out the problem and that doesn't use the annoying EA launcher thing.

I'm only using the default Pleasantview hood until I sort out this problem, so however many character files comes with that.

What hacks are you running?
Usually I have the Super Nude Patch 2, allenabq's Replacement Face Templates for CAS&BodyShop and AmberDiceless' plate replacement "ButterflyGold", but, again, until I sort out this problem, I have no hacks installed.

How much CC do you have?
Nothing, until I sort out this problem... but usually about 1.5GB worth.

I have all EPs up to Freetime and only two SPs - Glamour Life Stuff and H&M Fashion Stuff. But, once more if you've missed it before, only the base game until I sort out the problem. And I don't use a no CD crack.
And now, an update on my little ForceCore solution of yesterday:
Very little, if anything, changed. Even though the game had been instructed to use only one processor, it kept accessing the second processor. Why? Why? I've attached a new screenshot, if anyone's interested.

ETA: Sound drivers. You might not think it, but sometimes updating your sound card/onboard sound drivers can help graphics related issues.
I'll try that one tonight.
