I find very strange that most part of the games I install and play run toooooooo slooooooowly, even when the system requirements aren't so demanding! So far I've tried to play:<BR /><BR />- Command &amp; Conquer Generals<BR />- Far Cry<BR />- Deus Ex 2<BR />- Hitman Contracts<BR />- ....<BR /><BR />I didn't manage to play any of these because they were running so slow it was impossible to! I have enough disk space for virtual memory and I even closed all the unneeded background processes that consume resources...<BR /><BR />I know that a laptop is hardly a gaming platform but I wander if any of you guys is experiencing the same problem with these or other games?<BR /><BR />Thnks in advance<BR /></P></BODY></HTML> Sat, 29 May 2004 21:28:48 GMT eduardonpinto 2004-05-29T21:28:48Z Playing games https://community.sony.co.uk/t5/pcs-accessories/playing-games/m-p/94706#M128019 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>Hi,<BR /><BR />I have a Vaio PCG-GRT816S with a nVidia GeForce FX Go5600 with updated drivers.
