    Okay so background, I play WoW on my M1210, 1.83 c2d 1g ram go 7400. Suprisingly even running vista I play with max settings and obtain 30-60 fps usually in the 40-50 range. Today I started using my Nostromo speedpad n52, I load up WoW and I have 5 fps, I figure okay, temporary lag, happens a lot. Well now 2 hours later it still only is giving me 5 fps, I uninstalled the speedpad software, even uninstalled a bunch of other things to try and help performance, didn't help. Tried to system restore to before I installed it still no help. I was wondering if anybody could point me to a good freeware ram cleaner or something to try it.

    I even tried to go to lowest settings and no help, lowered settings & resolution, no help. I was considering attempting to go to dell and see if they could offer me any help, even though they're just going to have me do useless things to tell me they don't know what it is. I figure I can try and get an upgrade out of them or something.

    If all else fails I'll break the laptop and have them replace it, (kidding).
