Default [Acer Aspire] [5100] Lots of Issues.

Hello again:

I want to say that the processer is actually ... a horse-power boom. But the
graphics card is what is making the low rating ... and if you are a gamer.
You shouldn't consider less that GeForce 8400M GS or ATI Express 3200.

If you are interested in game response times, you should try running with
AERO off.
Next the ATI Xpress 1100 may not be the best choice for games.
Finally installing 4Ghz memory and running 32bit windows, added to the
typical Video usage of system Ram on a laptop might produce a
reading of less than 3Ghz. Or, it might be that part of the added memory
is not working or not recognized. If the memory is not working properly,
you might be getting a hitin responsiveness. Have you run any of the
memory testers?
Do you have Norton installed?

When were the video drivers last updated. I have a two year old HP laptop
(Vista Ultimate, 32bit) using an Nvidia chipset that started out painfully
slow when it came to games. Recent video driver and windows updates
actually made a big improvement in video response times.

I have an "-Acer Aspire 5100-", I've owned it for a two years.
I am having some problems with it, three types to be su

- RAM
- Graphics
- Overall Performance


My Computer specs a

AMD Turion 64 x2

ATI Xpress 1100

4GB DDR2 RAM

Windows 32-bit Vista Premium

CD/DVD Drive: Currently Unvailable ( broken due to an acer related
problem, I personally dislike acer now...)

--------------
-Problem One-
--------------
I have severe lag while playing games, Online or Offline.
my fps goes from 70-100 to 1-3.
I've Cleaned the insides, and updated the software.

--------------
-Problem Two-
--------------
I've installed 4 GB of DDR2 Ram, It shows that I have 2.25Gb (which
does Sh*t all)

---------------
-Problem Three-
---------------
My overall performance is horrible, I can't do any thing without lag.
It took me 2 hours to write this because of lag.
