Hey guys.

I recently purchased an HP dv9930us to replace my old Sager 5720.

I went from:
2gigs ram
GeForce 7800gt 256mb
pentium m 2.26
Windows XP

to:
4gigs of ram
GeForce 8600M GS
Duo Core 2.0ghz
Vista 64 bit premium

I thought originally I was getting a pretty big upgrade, but with the new system I seem to get weird frame rate issues with some games that I never received on the older system. Namely in Spore, and certain areas of World of Warcraft.

Is the Duo Core 2.0 not faster than my old Pentium M? Or is this a Vista issue?

Thanks!
 
core 2 is loads faster than any pentium. and sounds like a vista thing. i run ultimate and i will notice a drop in fps rarely. like when it's loading but other than that vista has been good to me. you had XP before right?
 
hmmm..... the game could be just loading a new section in the background. 30-40 is good for a lappie running spore. is this with the settings maxed out?
 
Sorry, gave the FPS for my maxed out WoW game.

Cold meds dulling my mind.,

Not quite sure how to gauge FPS in Spore, is there a command or do I need an outside program?

Thanks a ton for the help btw : )
 
not shure of commands, as i dont have the game. but there is a good program called FRAPS i love it it displays fps,takes screen shots and even records vids for you.
any time man, (that i'm online).
 
yes...... FRAPS is good. is the lappie getting hot? that could be it. and how is Spore? i was thinking of getting it my self.
