    First of all, I don't know if it's R1 or R2 but I got it in Sept '09 so I assume it's R1....

    So when I'm browsing the web, playing tetris, and even typing up this thread, I'm getting extremely small lag spikes, about .2 ms of a delay every now and then. It just makes the performance of this laptop seem kind of bumpy. It hangs often too, like when I'm typing a word, it doesn't automatically appear... like half a second later, all of the letters I typed show up at once. Has anyone else experienced this problem, and if so, is there a fix to it?

    I'm on Win7x64 btw.
