    I tried to use my Acer 4062LCi as a game server for the games Unreal and Unreal Tournament for some LAN fun. The game runs OK on the machine(if a little slow) but when I try to run a dedicated server it stuffs up !! You can see the server on the LAN but when you join, the server is slow, and misses updates (like UDP packets are lost or not sent).

    When playing the game, watching CPU usage the machine hits 100% but when running a server it reads 8-15%.

    You can run an Unreal server on a P120 so why not on my laptop? Any ideas? Is the CPU throttling back even on mains? Is there a bottleneck CPU/NIC/RAM?

    Any suggestions please!!! HELP!!
