Thanks guys, the laptop feels very fast for admin work but as soon as I try to run games(Skyrim in particular), things go all lag fest on me. 1st off, the default settings for Skyrim puts all graphical settings on ultra. Running the game on ultra settings is a complete lag fest, that is with no mods installed. Seems my GPU is not up to the task of running Skyrim even on vanilla, Oh well win some lose some.
