    Sorry about the kind of stupid question but it always takes a very long time to alt+tab out of games and stuff. I was just wondering if someone here could guide me on what to do in order to get it working better.
    Thanks for your help.

    How much RAM do you have and which OS are you using?

    I think upgrading to 2GB of RAM will help you a lot.
