Do you run your Laptop with the Power Cord plugged in? Many Intel Processors
in Laptops switch to 600 MHz if running on Battery or if the CPU isn't
needed much (called Speed Stepping).

Maybe this is what makes Doom3 lag so much?

Hi Michael,
Thanks for your replay. . .I always have the power cord in for that.
Regards,
Maurice.
