Just F no F5.

I'm using a DV6000 series HP laptop,specs as below:

Code Duo T2250 1.73ghz
geforce go7400 128mb
3gb ram
windows 7
120gb hdd (3gb free after installation)

game works fine, and even defaults to medium settings

i had to lower all to LOW and use the lowest resolution,and so far so good.
the cinematics lag like crazy(during the final sequence,the credits actually appeared DURING the video sequence!it's that laggy but the audio during those sequences play just fine)

game wise it's good enough. as far as i can tell only in really explosive battles does it hog down.

reading about the overheating issues got me scared,but so far i'm yet to overheat the laptop,despite playing more than 5 hours sometimes.

i also wanna check 2!!!

Here are my specifications =>

COMPAQ CQ45
AMD TURION X2
ATI Radeon 3200 HD
Hdd 320GB
4GB RAM
WINDOW 7

So what do u guys think?

need help....

Hi kianweic: Thanks bro Got it....

*sigh* I HAD to overclock my GPU to 631/880 and I'm still not getting satisfactory results.

Anyone got a solution? I hear others play on medium with their 8600M GT cards fine.


Or can the bottleneck be my C2D 2.4ghz?

Hi Zeratos, I dont think the cause is the C2D processor.. I'm running C2D 2.53Mhz and works fine... Dont see any lag on medium + high settings.

Using Mobile Intel® GM45 Express Chipset. Last night, i just turn on the aircond while playing to keep it cool... no problems

i am playing with Lenovo G450.

C2D T6600 @ 77c max
G210M @ 66c max

while playing this game in air conned office.

I found a stable OC @ 600/850 and the game works fine now 8D

Around Medium to Medium + Low ranges.

Hi all... i got another notebook running on Core i3-330m with Geforce 310m (512MB VRAM), do you think can run SC2 smoothly?

Thanks yeah..

should be no problem as long as u got external(not integrated) gc...

I'm sorry to say that if your laptop's specification is less than mine (LOOK AT THE FIRST POST), then your SC2 campaign will lag like shit.

The first 15 campaigns do not lag, I got 30-60 fps


Then, the last few missions lag like my ass. FPS drops terribly from 60 to 5 fps. WTF.


But, multiplayer and skirmish with bots wont lag. I got constant 40-70 fps when playing these.

just for shits and giggles, i installed the game on my secondary laptop:
c2d t5270 1.40ghz
3gb ram
integrated gc
windows vista basic

the game installs just fine
movies run great
but the game lags like crazy.

and im talking about the first level of the campaign

haha...c2d board integrated graphics sux big time...
i don't even dare to try on my laptop...lolz

C2D 1.73Ghz (4got da model)
1GB RAM
GMA X3100
Window XP SP3

I guess most likely the lag is due to Integrated GPU...

Nowadays we need powerfl PC/ Laptop then only can play games smoothly.

However, Powerful = $$$

T7500 , 3gb , 8600M GT

Runs fine at medium. Though I have to lower one of 2 from the given default settings to achieve lagless cinematics

Gonna try Starcraft 2 on my sister's new laptop.

i7 720
Geforce GT335
4GB of Ram
