PC game is slow - is it a problem with my ram or video card?

As always, your PC must meet or exceed the video Game's minimum hardware requirements. See below:

Yours doesn't, because most budget laptops are not built for high-end gaming. The Intel Graphics Media Accelerator X3100 is OK for watching Videos, but NOT for modern gaming.

And, no, you can't upgrade low-end laptop graphics chips. So, start saving your pennies for a GAMING LAPTOP, it should easily cost 3 times what you paid for your "portable DVD player", sorry.

It's a whole computer problem. You have a low-end CPU and integrated graphics. You have plenty of RAM already, adding more won't help you.

The best way is to download Ccleaner here http://bitly.com/UrALrK

Or you can go on Windows operating system locate the command prompt and go there to do the following:
Create a Recovery file of system and date it today.

Then begin by;
delete the 'Temp' folders..they have hidden subfolders so you need to set the attributes in order to bypass this. For each subfolder delete all cookies and rubbish left behnd after install-uninstalled programs. Do a 'dir' command to check your progress. Make sure the 'Temp' file is empty.

goto c:\windows\prefetch and delete everything in there..no exceptions

goto c:\windows folder and delete all the '$' files that have been installed by updates. They can all be succesfully deleted and just take up disk space.

Locate the Internet Temporary Files..Check to see how high the saving level is..some have it set at 30 days..but that stores faaaar tooo much data..though it slows down the system overal. Keep this to a minimum..suggest 2 or 5 at most.

Delete all 'cookies' all those you don't need.

Locate the windows directory and go through the folders you know and those you don't need. Check this once a week at least. Some programs will install under XP as NT and older systems where there is no check of systems weight.

Check to see that system files have not changed since last booting. Things like .ini files or .bat are important items.


Check for 'Hidden Directories' all over the disk...do this at the command prompt:

dir *.* /ah wil show these hidden directories

Check the 'dir' command for all parameters

Is there anything you can do about it?
No.


You should always use desktop pcs for gaming.
