Laptop COD4ing

[AVC]

Normally I game on my desktop machine. No probs. It zips along quite nicely.

Previously I had a crapola wireless connection that used to ping slower that McFoe could fly to LA and back.

Now I have a new connection (for the laptop) which gives me a 200ish ping (on Speedtest), so I can connect, but the game runs slower that a really, really slow thing.

This laptop I'm on now is a Core 2 Duo (2.0 GHz, 667 FSB) with 2GB of DDR2 and a GeForce Go 7400 256MB, which also can use Ram for a total memory of 400 MB.

In game I get a ping of around 300ish, but a frame rate of about 5, sometimes 8. You cant even spawn camp. Or move. I could play Shipment with lots of players and use Marty, but that's about it.

So who is using lappies here? I know McFoe does (but I can't remember what vid card is in it, or what brand it is).

yea, i would adjust how many packets you send to server, and try to be as close to your wireless router as possible. also let some air to your laptop so it can breath. and if it laggs graphicly, turn down settings. those are my recommendations. also make sure you have the latest drivers.

I'll tell you what happens. I get about 30 FPS. That with everything on the lowest of the low, and things like decals turned off. It looks like Doom used to. LOL

I did as Nick suggested.. Runs great now.. But I didnt set all to the lowest. I played around a bit with them until I got what I wanted. Internet connection means alot with the online version as well. Digital downloads dont always work I found

 

[NickHouston]

certain thing may be set to high just have to adjust to what your laptop is capable of..

I game on my MacBOok which is as good as my Win7 desktop.
It's great b/c I can take it with me when I travel so I'm not away from gaming too much.
