    Does anyone have a similar laptop to mines that is experiencing low performance? for some reason when i play f.e.a.r combat my laptop would start out smooth but within a minute or so my performance would just all of a sudden plummet to a really low frames per second. i got the latest drivers. I'm also running windows vista.

    Try turning shades off. FEAR uses a lot.
