Lol i got a budget com running vista,1.5gb,dual core,ima graphic..how come i play game like roller coaster tycoon 3 is so lag? but using unix grahic it does not lag..
unix graph? ima graphic?
ima - intel media acclerator?
first reason, it's vista.
second reson,in order to run things like "aero interface, flip 3d ect" a portion of your graphics needed to be used.
IMA = shared graphics. thus you have 128mb but if vista needs 50mb, you will only have 78mb of graphics

Unnecassary things like aero interface, flip 3d ect can be turned off to improve performance. If your computer is going to be solely for gaming, I suggest you "Upgrade" to Windows XP.
maybe it is the ram
im on vista also, 4gb ram, sometimes when gaming it eats up 78precent of my 4gb
another things is the graphics card, maybe you need a faster one, are u a gamer? do you play grahpics intensive games? if yes, maybe you should get a 9800gx2
if light gamer, get the 9600gt

Weather you are a heavy or light gamer, as long as you are a gamer, I suggest you "Upgrade" to Windows XP for the performance. Except for the Aero Glass, Flip 3D etc., I don't see how Vista can be better than XP. Vista has many unnecassary things running in the background like user account control which hogs the CPU and RAM. If you need DirectX 10, there are hacks for you to install DirectX 10 into Windows XP.

I know.
I am telling him what causes the "lag".
Thanks guys for your reply
I not sure wad mine graphic card is..it only say standard graphic adapter when i bought..den i go down load the intel 82945 express chipset family..i think like no graphic card lol..my Ram is 1.5 GB..Then i play roller tycoon 3 demo very lag like cannot play at all..lol
no such thing as no graphic card la. lol
no graphic card u wont see anything at all ler.
u are using a integrated graphic chipset, most likely VIA or intel GMA. it isnt meant for gaming.
u can try using task manager to turn off some of the unwanted crap like the sidebar, and other things.
turn off msn while u play, it is a memory hog.
what version of vista are you using?
intel 82945 chipset also includes the GMA 950 graphics
Window Vista home Basic
Haha i tot i don have graphic card
