    Hi,

    So I just bought a new M11x-R2..i7, 8GB ram. I was able to switch the graphics settings from the nvidia control panel to 'High-performance' for the StarCraft2 exe but still the game lags and only plays well on low settings...I then saw that my cpu clock speed is only running at 1.3Mhz...When I enter the BIOS and change the clock speed to say 1.5Mhz and reboot it still says 1.3Mhz in the my computer properties window? Any ideas please? Do I need to try out new nvidia drivers? Do you think the SC2 isn't using the 'high-performance' graphics settings and still using the 'Intergrated' ones maybe? Much thanks.
