    I’ve also seen you lag and rubber band when moving about the place, no keyboard lag would cause that. Checkout pingtest.net and find out what your ping is.

    Thanks Alzir et al.

    Suspect it is a combo of my BBand (ISP in Manchester, route there from London then out to the web) and my wireless (wife always watching web vids plus flakey wifi).

    Laptop is a Sony Viao VPC F12 Z1E
    CPU: Intel core i7 Q74 @ 1.75ghz (Quad Core)
    8gb RAM
    Vid: Nvidia GeForce GT330M

    check pingtest for packet loss, I’ve found that any Iplayer/4od/youtube video results in packet loss. Thank god my housemates have all got girlfriends now, volume of porn watching has decreased and my internet has become more stable as a result!

    Do you not just use all their porn bandwidth for your gay porn bandwidth needs?

    Pharty I’d recommend plenty of memory. I think all in all that made the biggest difference for me with regards to performance. I already had 4 but upgraded to 8. In fairness my new G card has 2 gig of memory also so I cant really use the lag excuse anymore.

    My laptop has 8GB ram, not sure how easy it is to upgrade the Graphics card on a laptop though?
