Hello,
Thanks for taking the time to read this and possibly help me out. I have a Dell XPS Laptop and lately I've been having a terrible time getting EQ2 to run properly. After a few minutes of Running EQ2, I begin to lag so bad that the game is basically unplayable. I have a DSL connection, so i had a hard time believing that this continual problem is with my internet connection. When I ctl+alt+del to look at my system performance, I notice that while I am playing EQ2, my processor is using between 95-100% of its resources ALL of the time. I have no other programs running in the background, and i have disabled all of my anti-virus software. I even ran multiple spyware and virus checks to see if the problem might be because of something like that. I have my settings set to extreme performance and it hasn't seemed to help at all. Please help me, I really need some advice or direction to go with this. My specs on the XPS are as follows:
P4 3.4Ghz Extreme edition
2GB of RAM
256 MB ATI Mobility Radeon 9800
80 GB 7200 RPM Hard drive
and as I said before, I'm running on a DSL connection.
I know that a laptop probably has some performance issues when compared to a desktop, but it just doesn't seem right that with the hardware I have it should be this bad.
Thank you very much in advance for the help
