    I just got this notebook fresh and am trying to play warcraft 3 on it. However, every now and then, the graphics lags. I've tried to update the drivers via laptopvideo2go but still the problem remains. Anyone have any idea why this is happening?

    Hard to say. Could be a number of reasons.

    - Update Warcraft 3 to the latest version.
    - Run SZ in SPEED mode to use the Nvidia Geforce Card.
    - Make sure you using the latest drivers.
    - Make sure Vsync is Off in the Nvida Control Panel.
    - Use a Tweak Utlity to change the Prerender limit to 1
    - Check the Sony Power management problems.
    - Check the Virutal Memory Usage.
    - Run laptop under AC power.
    - Make sure no virus scanner programs are running in the background or bloatware like Norton Internet Security.
    - Close down all unnessary programs like Msn Messenger, IRC, Skype, etc.

    And so on.
