    Hello! I recently bought the M11x Back in march of 2010. I've been having some problems with it ever since then.


    Performance wise, my system is lacking. It can only play WoW on a steady 30fps on low settings.

    I bought the new MMO All Points bulletin, and this laptop can barely even run the game.

    All of my drivers are up to date, not sure if they would be the cause of alarm/Performance slug.

    **Edit: Even upon turning the system on, the face recoginition seems to lag some.

    Specs:
    Overclockable Intel Core2 Duo SU7300 1.3GHz (3MB Cache, 800MHz FSB)
    4GB Dual Channel DDR3 at 1066MHz
    1GB NVIDIA GeForce GT 335M
    250GB SATAII 7,200RPM

    Yes the facial login does lag. I would disable it. Its nice fun to play with at first but it keeps on using about 10 percent of your cpu; the process is called wmiprvse.

    Ok. With my next question, I am not trying to insult your intelligence but have you enabled the nvidia graphics card? With the fn + f6 key? As I said dont want to insult but just get it out the way. :D

    Ya, the Fn-F6 key should help you.
