    Hi guys :)
    well i got a vostro 1500 for christmas with the works (ie. T7250, 8600m gt, 2gb ram... etc) and i purchased Battlefield 2142.

    heres the problem:
    on singleplayer i can play the game on max settings (except for AA which is on 4x) with no problem at all.

    when i go to play online, everything seems fine but every like 5 or 10 seconds the game will freeze for a second and the fps will drop from a stable 30-40 to like a low 10 or 0. it freezes for like 3 seconds and then is fine again for another 5-10 seconds or so.

    i tried turning the settings down the medium but that didnt really work. im pretty sure i have the latest drivers from laptopvideo2go.com. i got the latest from their site 2 days ago.

    any help would be great.
    thanks :)
