my specs and guild wars

Hey, my processor is AMD Turion 64 x2 1.60GHz, 958 RAM, and a 32-bit Operating System with a GeForce Go 6150 video card. Although the site, Canirunit.com, says i can run GW smoothly, the in game results r the opposite. I lag in towns and when i battle monsters, gettingaround 7-20 fps. Is there a way to increase fps? and if ur suggesting updating drivers, i have no clue what that means cuz i am a noob wen ir comes to pc, so plz explain. Thanks in advance

well... that "video card" is actually not a video card. it's an integrated graphics chip found on your computer's motherboard.

since you do have a geforce go 6150, it sounds like your computer have a PCI-e slot. if that's the case, you can certainly upgrade to a real graphics card and get much better performance.

if you don't feel like upgrading, the only thing you can do is to lower resolution and graphic settings in game.

Is this a desktop computer or a laptop? Is the video card an actual piece of hardware, or is it built into the motherboard? If it's integrated, then that's your problem right there. It is never going to perform as well as a dedicated card, and chances are the 900-something megs of ram you reported are due to some of your 1GB of ram being dedicated to the video card. Depending upon your financial situation, I would suggest spending some money on a stand alone video card - it'll really help!

It is a laptop, Hp Pavilion dv2000

Try lowering some graphic options if you haven't done so already especially things like AA (if it's supported by your chipset) and textures etc.

Hmm... then your options are, unfortunately, limited. Your only option is to maybe add more ram, and possibly devote more of it to the video card. Otherwise, you'll have to just lower the graphics settings, close any other applications, and update your video card driver...

Heh, have the same laptop. Added some RAM, up to 2 gb, helped a little. But yeah, you basically just have to turn down the resolution, etc.

Sorry.
