This is my laptop I bought not to long ago in hopes being able to get around easier when going to LAN parties and such.

My Laptop seems to be running well with most games, but It's easy to see it slows down when it has to load a good amount of graphics. Im just wondering if there are programs or applications that can help improve the performance out of the computer, It's has a decent video card but now I wish I could of saved just a while longer and bought an even better card.


Thanks for the Help =)

Welcome to G2G

You can start by looking at what programs are starting automatically. What is in your system tray by the clock? Those are auto start programs. Some do not need to auto start. They can be started when you want.

They can individually be stopped thru msconfig.

If you need help on msconfig, please ask

I agree with 123Runner and also:

Remove unwanted programs that came loaded by Dell (if you have Norton av) and others.

Depending on how much RAM intensive your applications and games are, you may be using it all of your available system RAM. An easy way to tell if a RAM upgrade would benefit you would be to:

1) Open your Task Manager
2) Select the Performance tab
3) Look at the "Total" value under "Commit Charge (K)" and the "Total" value under "Physical Memory (K)"
If the value under "Commit Charge" is larger than the one in "Physical Memory," adding more RAM would benefit you.

Of course, follow 123Runner's advice first if you find some startup apps you can disable.
