I have hp pavillion zv5000 with ATI mobility radeon 9000 igp, celeron 2,80 Ghz and it comes with 256 RAM, but I have added 512 more so now it's up to 700+....

Here is my f***** problem:

DIABLO II COMPLETLY CHUMPS!!

It lag completly, and it isn't just this game, but on counter-strike and day of defeat the mouse sometimes just wont move for some seconds...that's not good in a shooting game, trust me.

I can't really see what the problem can be, is something cracked up with my laptop or do you guys know anything I can do to get rid of the chumping.

In Diablo II LoD (expansion set) you can turn on /fps , it let you see what your ping is and what your fps is + some more.
when i'm just standin in the game doing nothing i have fps on 35-50....when starting to move it gets down to 19 fps!! when i start fighting i sometimes end up with fps on 1-4!!!!!!

PLEASE HELP ME!

 

You got integrated graphics, as well as a celeron, thats the problem. You can't really do anything to the comp that will help its performance, sorry.

 

I wasn't thinking on changing something, i did more want to get help on what i could do or what the problem was...because the chips are more than good enough to drive DiabloII...so there must be a problem...I know that laptop integrated processors and graphic cards are some slower then in desktops....
Either my graphic card with 64 mb ram in is to slow
or something is wrong with my laptop
Or i have done something wrong
Or maybe you guys know what the problem can be....

 

You've already done everything you can do by upgrading RAM. Shared memory GPUs just can't push pixels fast enough to maintain decent framerates on games, regardless of what CPU they're paired with. You bought a notebook designed for little old ladies to send email with. Sorry.

The zv5000t is the weakest notebook HP makes. For about the same money you can buy the zv5000z and get a vastly better CPU (AMD Athlon XP-M or 64) and a dedicated memory GPU (GeForce 440 Go, weak but sufficient for old games like Diablo II).

 

HMPH. For a price around 1100$ should get better than email notebook god damn. How waste...I mean, it even sometimes stop up when writing in word...WTF is that??? mofo, hp sux from this time and thank god i have a desktop wich i can play all my games on. This notebook was ment for school, and it works...but only almost. And even old ladies should buy better. It even uses long time to get into windows...My dads dads desktop with 0,8 Ghz and tnt2 graphiccard works better...

 

Yes sad to say but pretty much everything with a celeron chip in it is crap. I used to have a desktop with one so I should know. Good luck on your future purchase, try sticking with either AMD or Pentium M processor, there should be plenty of models around 1100 listed spec.

try disabling the inbuilt graphics accelaration option of the game....might be the reason for choppy graphics. that is turn the off the video accelaration only for the game.

I play diablo on a PMMX 300 with 128MB ram and 4MB video ram and it works all fine with a more than 50fps.[8D]
