    Hello people, I hope I have come to the right place for my question(s).

    you see after some problems with my dell XPS M1730 i format it (reset everything)

    and after that my Performance Information ( which kind of describes the performance of my computer ) was really bad. "Graphics", and "Gaming Graphics"
    was at 1, (the lowest score) but then i installed some drivers and it is now 5.9 and 5.5 (fairly good i think)

    but my Processor and Memory (RAM) is both at 3, which makes it impossible for my computer to work as i want it to do, so my question is if any of you fellow PC-owners know what would help?

    Big thanks for those who may have any helping information for me! =)

    Im assuming that your not aware that the wei tool is useless garbage.It gives inaccurate numbers based on various things that make zero sense.You probably have better hardware than me so pay no attention to that thing cause i got 4.4 on the cpu part and it keeps chnging.

    okey, well thanks for the answer, but I still got a problem. my computer is not functioning the way it should, becouse I can't play any games, without major lagg, so something is terrible wrong atm (processor and RAM) is not doing their job, I will lagg while playing games like Warcraft 3, and for those who know my xps m1730 should be able to run that smoothly, but after i formated it it's just useless for stuff like that ;d

    any opinions ? Please =)

    Perhaps you did not install some essential drivers, go to Dell her support site and download the drivers you need for the m1730.
    As for Warcraft 3 lag are you talking about connection/network lag or are you playing it offline and still lagging? Did the AC adapter not work properly before the format and does it still show its plugged in even though not charging? Try selecting the power plan "High Performance" in control panel - power options and see if this helps.
    It would be helpful if you posted some more information about what windows/drivers/bios you have installed etc.

    hello, thanks for a very nice reply =)

    as for the lagg, i still lagg in offline mode, so it got nothing to do with internet connection. same goes for any other game i try to play offline or online I still lagg.

    my -AC adapter did not charge before the formate either. so i am wondering if the problem lies in the broken AC-adapter?? if i get a new one it'll all work fine? ;o

    I will go over all my drivers once again now, but i really doubt the problem lays within the drivers, they are all downloaded from the dell support site/download site for drivers, and i downloaded all for my xps.

    but once again, thanks for a super reply! keep em coming =)
