    Well, i just got my inspiron 1520, alpine white (to die for) with:
    -2.0ghz C2Duo
    -8600gt
    -2gb ram (thinking about upgrading to 3gb)

    I was just wondering if there is any way (short of getting a lappy with customizable internals) of speeding my 3D power up (higher fps). The only things i can think about right now are:

    -using riva tuner (or can you throw out a program),
    -getting another gig of ram ( to 3gb)
    -setting game priority (in taskmngr) to high (to get the most out of my proc. power)


    what ELSE can i do to get mo'bettah fps? (to be frank)

    well what kind of games do you want better fps in? Cause thats one heck of a system, i suppose overclocking would give you the most improvement.
