    Hi everyone,

    I see many G1S owners using their laptop to play Crysis, Call of Duty and other games. My concern is that why can't I do the same? I download Crysis demo and the game was lagging like crazy. Is there something that I need to do in order to get the performace up? Please help!

    The specs are as followed:
    Intel Core 2 Duo T7500(2.20GHz)
    15.4" Wide SXGA+
    2GB DDR2 667
    160GB 5400rpm
    DVD Super Multi
    NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GT

    I tried medium at first and then tried lowering to low quality but still the same issue. Is there some tweaks that I should do? Thanks

    Have you updated your drivers? If not, i highly recommend you do that from www.laptopvideo2go.com

    Also, are you running these games off battery? Make sure you notebook battery is charge 100% and plugged into a wall. I would also check the Power Options to make sure its set on Full Performance.

    I haven't update the driver but will do that right away. Also, I also run on adapter so the battery is 100% charged and set on performance. Thanks

    The most important thing is updating your driver !
    The 169.04 is still the most liked driver for many users around here (I'm on the 169.21 now but i might go back to the .04 one)

    Also a little overclock would help of course :)
