Hey there, I'm running a E1705 laptop with a T2600, 7900 GS, and 2mb of RAM.
The problem I'm having is I'm getting bad slowdown in games. Basically while im playing Warcraft 3 the framerate is fine until for no apparent reason it will drop to 20-30 fps for like 3 minutes then go back up to the constant 60 for a few more minutes, then will repeat the cycle of going up and down. Same thing happens when I play CounterStrike:Source, I'll start playing with 100-120fps and then for no reason will start getting 30-40 in the same places.
I thought it was a graphics card issue so I go it replaced from Dell but now I'm getting the same symptoms.
So has anyone else had similar issues, or does anyone know what a possible cause of this is?
I also upgraded to Vista to see if that would fix it. It didn't and I moved back to XP with a fresh format and it was giving me the same problems right after installing all the correct drivers.
Anyway, thanks a lot if anyone can help me out with this extremely annoying issue.
