Hello,
I just purchased a hypersonic CX5 and have some questions. First, let me say that I do not know much about computers at all, in fact this is my first time using windows (I have always had a mac). I purchased the computer for college to run demanding engineering programs. Specs are: Pentium M 755 2.0GHz processor, 1 GB RAM, Radon 9700 gfx card, 60GB 7,200RPM harddrive. I recently downloaded demos of splinter cell and hitman to test it out and am having some trouble. While playing the games, it is very choppy and seems too slow for the specs I have. I've noticed the slowness with other programs as well. For example, when in Windows media player and trying to change skins, as soon as i click on a different skin to veiw, it waits about 10-15 secs before even showing a new skin. Is this right, or do I have to change something in the computer? Thanks for any help you can give me!
