Hey. I recently purchased a new laptop to replace my desktop P.C. My P.C. had roughly the following specifications including 2.0GHz Athlon (if not that, a little less), 1.5GB RAM, nVidia Geforce 7600GS 250MB graphics card. I bought a laptop in mind to play better games and replace that 4 year old bit of kit. I upgraded to the following specifications including Intel Core 2 Duo processor T6400 (2GHz, 800MHz FSB, 2MB L2 cache), up to 1791MB nVidia Geforce 9300M GS TurboCache graphics card, 3GB DDR2 RAM. Basically it's a much better machine. My old desktop ran games like World of Warcraft and Call of Duty 4 effortlessly. My laptop just about copes with WoW but when I installed CoD4 it was sluggish at best, I tried Call of Duty 5 and it was running though unplayable as though the machine isn't getting enough power. My question is this: why is my machine seemingly not utilising it's power (or is it?) and do any experienced laptop gamers have any tips? My machine seems pretty powerful and I feel i'm just not getting my moneys worth. Many thanks. Dathjo90.
