    My friend has a 2 year old SZ and he can play CS with 99 fps constant..while i have 35 fps...any1 knows how to tweak this laptop to the full potential? or am i just stuck with this FZ?? I am so dissapointed as even my old S360 can play CS with 80-90 FPS....and it is like Pentium M with 512Mb ram and 80GB HD.. :(

    What video card do you have on your FZ? 8400GT or integrated?

    can you set to lower resolution like 640x480 ?? When I did on mine, it wouldn't display full screen, rather a small area.

    Try opening the console by pressing the "~" key. Type in "fps_max 100" without the quotes, press enter, and see if it makes a difference. Unless you already did that.

    of course if you play with low-res it will give you more FPS, so were you be able to set you screen display at low resolution ??

    I can't on my FZ140, even on desktop I couldn't do that
