upgraded my laptop. FPS went up, latency no diff but surprisingly more stable. makes me wonder if FPS causes stability issues.

my old laptop was a dell xps 1310. 2 gb ram and i think it was a go 7300s. intel process T5600, 1.8 GHz, 2 MB cache, 667 Mhz. bought it when vista first came out. often got the blue screen but after the burn in period, seems more stable. 12.1" Widescreen XGA display with truelife 1280x800 res. windows rating 3.0.

new laptop is a dell xps 1530. 3gb ram, go 8400M GT. processor is Intel T8300 2.40 GHz, 3 MB Cache 800 Mhz. 15.4" ultrasharp widescreen WSXGA 1680x1050 TFT Display with Truelife. Also using Vista. windows rating 5.0

Latency was same for both laptops but FPS went up by 20-50, depending on the area. DPS in raids shot up as well but hard to tell how big the increase was as I also upgrade quite a lot of gear as well.

Another I'm not sure but I suspect things are also more stable with Streamyx compared to the beginning of the year. This is pure speculation on my part but then again, we all have our streamyx conspiracies, no?
