1. Sounds like you have a pretty sweet "Laptop" already. Are you trying to get desktop performance from a mobile unit?


2. What games are you trying to play??


3. Upgrade the ram, notebooks are difficult to upgrade and depending on what type you have its impossible cept for ram upgrades. System wise wipe your computer clean, if your having problems with playing certain games. With those specs dont expect to play anything recently released. Dont overload your laptop with junk make sure you scan it often to get rid of viruses and so fourth and run a registry cleaner to improve performance, hope this helps :D....


4. due to your notebook's specifications such as cpu, ram and video card, there isn't much to improve, as you need to overclock your processor and video card but this IS AT YOUR OWN RISK. use the software provided with your notebook to do this or you can find a driver from nvidia to overclok you video card, that might help a bit in improving you gaming experience.:

   nvidia sistem tools makes it possible 4 you to increase your graphic card overall performance by adjusting the cpu and memory speed.



5. you could buy a new computer?



6. If your virus/spyware free, there are a couple things you can do get your computer working faster. If you using your computer for normal stuff and not gaming. You don't always need more RAM you just need to perform a few maintenance task.

   First, if you haven't cleaned your registry in a while. This is necessary. Your registry holds all the information regarding updates, installs, un-installs etc. Each one of those events produces a key. That key needs your PC's resources and free space. So, if you clean your registry, you make more resources available for speed. Do a registry scan if you got more than 20 errors you should clean it.

   2. Clear your Windows cache files, this is your temporary file. It can grow up to a large volume and stop your computer from using RAM properly. In a sense slow it down by preventing it from using free space.Here is how:

   1. Quit Internet Explorer, Firefox, or any other web browser

   2. Click Start, click "Control Panel", and then double-click "Internet Options".

   3. On the General tab, click "Delete Files" under Temporary Internet Files.

   4. In the Delete Files dialog box, click to select the "Delete all offline content" check box , and then click OK.

   5. Click OK.

   3. Manage your startups. Your excess CPU usage is due to too many programs running in the background. You can cut these to barebones by alter your msconfig. Here is how:

   1. Open your Start menu.

   2. Click Run

   3. In the command screen type "msconfig.exe"

   4. In the "system configuration utility",click either "service" or "startup" tab

   5. Uncheck all programs that your are no longer using.

   6. Click "OK"
