    Alienware M11x R3 Gameplay (i3 1.3ghz cpu) - YouTube
    soz dint get mutch action in that game, but its for FPS evrything on low
    even tweak some settings, but can't get mutch more out 1024x768 res
    obv i dont use fraps to record videos, i like to use my y cam, but it makes maybe bit more real :D enjoi
    maybe its usefull for ppl who will buy this base model with 1.3ghz cpu
    but with 2gb ram this game is unplayable.

    The problem is the CPU, so you can put your settings to 1366x768 and get the same FPS. But that looked perfectly playable to me!

    cpu is obviously the bottle neck as well as the ram, I recommend upgrading to 4gb

    Try overclocking your GPU with Msi Afterburner, Then turn up "Pre-Rendered Frames" to maximum in your Nvidia control panel

    Pre-rendered frames allows your gpu to put more effort in rendering upcoming frames. Basically if you have a cpu bottle-neck, it will allow you to render frames smother even with a lower fps (makes lagging less noticeable).
