    Hey, I was wondering how I could make TF2 run better on my laptop. It runs, but there's some lag and occasionally it stalls a little. Is it the processor, the graphics card?

    CPU: i3-350M
    GPU: nVidia Geforce GT 325M w/1GB DDR3
    RAM: 4GB DDR3 (2GBx2)
    Display (resolution): 1366x768 is native, but it goes widescreen for TF2 usually.


    Any help is appreciated ^_^
    Also, if you could give me an idea of how much it would cost me, that would be great. Thanks!

    It's the graphics card that's bottlenecking your system. Have you tried downloading the latest drivers for your graphics card??

    Could you show screenshots of your settings? Your specs should be enough to run it well.
