Decided to play some old school games today on my M140 and was surprised at the results. While playing both Total Annihilation and Command and Conquer: Red Alert 2, the animation on screen would freeze for a second every 10-15 seconds, like the machine couldn't handle it. I have a decent processor and 2 GB of memory. What the heck...I only have 30 processes running!
This has occasionally happened in DVD movies as well.
The machine was reformatted only a few months ago (same symptoms before reformat). The machine is routinely kept free of spyware and viruses, and I use CCleaner daily. It has been defragged recently. Any ideas?
