I just bought a brand new Inspiron 600m Centrino based laptop, specs 40 gig 5400 rpm hard drive, 512 mb ddr ram at like 333 or 400mhz, 1.6 ghz Pentium M with 2 MB cache, and 64 MB dedicated Radeon 9000.
I am playing Morrowind GOTY (very low system requirements) on it and about every 5 or 6 seconds, it stops for like half a second to a second, then resumes, and does it again in 5 or 6 more seconds.
Also, when scrolling through Windows XP pro start menu, if I hover over a pop up menu, sometimes it takes a few seconds to pop out with the subfolders.
Any ideas why this brand new machine is so slow on such simple tasks?
Could it be the Pentium M processor? Or is it something else?
