Title: Laptop help please. Post by: Girgy85 on January 26, 2010, 08:39:43 PM My laptops been very laggy the last 2 days or so! Internet been slow but my connection is exellent. Try playing football manager but it's soooo slow it's unbearable!!
I've opened windows task manager and says ive got 57 processes and the CPU usage is 100% which I don't think it should be!! Any ideas on what the problem is? Cheers! Title: Re: Laptop help please.

Post by: cdw1111 on January 27, 2010, 10:22:49 PM I think Marco is saying upgrade your RAM memory,which is easy to do on most laptops a quick google or a look on youtube will show you how to do it if your models RAM is easily accessible.
A site called http://www.crucial.com/ will scan your fitted memory and offer a suitable upgrade which should speed up your laptop. the site looks different from when i used it a while ago so i would wait until someone confirms its cosher before doing this. any views? |
