Hi guys & gals,
I'm looking for links to or a helping hand with regards to increasing laptop performance; including but not exclusive to CPU and RAM.
I play Online games and I just don't think my laptop is performing up to its specifications (long loading screen times & excessive lag(imo) in certain situations.) I could be wrong and my laptop is poor - if so tell me.
I'm fully conversant with the 'usual' measures such as Defrag/Cleaner/AV & Spyware ways, and I have done the usual laptoppy stuff such as selecting High perfomance for my laptop.
I'm trying to be detailed as I'm hoping there is stuff out there, whether it be programs and/or advice that I have yet to find on Google.
I've just downloaded RAMBooster literally minutes ago so I've yet to put that to the test and see if it's any good.
I'll stick my specs down just incase:
Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU T8300 @ 2.40GHz (2 CPUs), ~2.4GHz
Memory: 2558MB RAM - it's 4GB but I'm an idiot and selected 32bit Vista for reasons still beyond my comprehension
Graphics: GeForce 8800M GTX
HDD: 250GB @ 7200rpm
So to reiterate is my laptop needing an upgrade and if not anyone got any ideas as to why 'I' think it is underperforming.
Thankyou in advance
Just FYI it has nothing to do ISP / Internet connection as it's the same whether I'm at home using my Virgin 20meg pipe or at work using a 1meg broadband connection.
