    Does anyone here use RealFlight G3.5? I fly RC Helis and the sim is really not working fine on the Dell Studio 1535.
    My ex laptop was a Siemens with a 1.86 GHz processor and no graphics card and 2 GB ram was so much BETTER at this and this Dell is 2.4 with 3 GB ram with 256 MB ATi - SUCKS. :confused:

    Any suggestions?

    I dunno about the other games, but RealFlight G3.5 really is no fun on this junk machine.
    A Siemens with less Ram, slower processor and no dedicated graphics card was far better than the Dell.

    It says on the unit MADE in POLAND. but when you open the bottom cover, it says MADE IN CHINA EVERYWHERE! :mad:

    This is BULLPOOP.

    Hopefully you at least plugged it in before you tried gaming? Too many times people post here that X laptop is playing X game horribly and they've failed to even do the most common sense thing of plugging it in :|

    If you've done that then you need to say more specs of your machine and how are are trying to run it. As if I tried to play a game at my 1535's max resolution of 1920x1200 I can't expect great performance. That resolution would choak even top tier desktop cards on the majority of newer games...

    yeah always plugged in, I have a Viewsonic VX2640w (1920x1200) and was running at top res. I only use my machine as a laptop rarely I leave town. Specs: Core 2 Duo, 2.4 GHz, 3 GB (1+2), 200 GB 7200 rpm Seagate, 3450 ATi 256 MB Card video.

    I am gonna try and run the thing at what I used to run it on the Siemens... 1024 x 768it is!
