Slow in games,- how come? [:-/]

[Bleh]

What the.... , hate it.
I try to run some of these games(Medieval2 Demo, Gothica 3 Demo) just to see the quality and speed of my laptop and my laptop gives me a slideshow.
What gives?

VGN-FE31H
Core 2 Duo T5500 (1.66Ghz each)
1Gb/Go DDR2 SDRAM
GeForce Go 7400 with turbo cash 256Mb
2 months old
dont have any installed rubish on it

thank you

I have FE21B with the same configuration as you have. if you mean Gothic 3 , I have also installed that one but only because I wanted to try how much does it lag Whole Gothic series is bugged and not optimized for anything else than High end hardware. So the problem is not in your laptop, try World of warcraft on highest res., highest details, highest antialias.... Your laptop shouldnt have problem to handle that. Also try NFS carbon and you ll see you have good machine for playing games.

Hi LEVELman
I even tried that new Splinter Cell double Agent damn I couldnt believe the lags I had.I'm pretty sure it shouldnt be like that.
I whack Blizzard games for their prehistoric visuals.
However I had tried it I gotta admit that and it was as smooth as it possibly could be. Although after 5 hours of playing of it my neck got broke in few places and I received a severe brain damage, so I deleted it.

Hmm I havent tried Splinter cell but I also think that Fe series with Nvidia 7400 with turbocache isnt as good gaming machine as some Alienware pieces for example. They are good enough for playing most games anyway. Isnt your computer's performance slowed down by some other software ? /antivirus/ ?... (Norton sux )

[Bleh]

(Norton sux   )

That's what I got lol

[LEVELman]

Well I suggest only to try some other antivirus... AOL antivirus shield for example which free , you only need to register at aol website to get activation code... mby after trying something else you ll realize that norton was slowing down whole pc,not games only... try this I am sattisfied with this one

Also I'm dloading 3d benchmark (3dmark 06) to test my junk

Hi

Unfortunately GeForce 7400 is not top range graphic card, so you won't be able to play newest games ;(
