Have any of you had this happen?

Hello my play-natured PCers!

Have any of you noticed a lag in our Games in the Games section of our forum?

For example, take a try at playing "pool". Do the balls, especially just before hitting each other, stop for a second and then go ahead? Not smooth at all.

Further -- DOES ANYONE KNOW what would cause such a thing to happen?

Also, does anyone know if having more memory installed inside your computer would cure such a problem or help the computer's speed and performance in other areas?

Thanks in advance for any responses.

Your puzzled Guru

I am not sure game performance depends on computer memory, I have Gforce card and top of the line Dell XPS computer and playing some of the games is impossible. One thing , they appear to small , then for example Poux Puzzle game is very,very slow .My neighbor ( she lives two houses away from me ) has old computer and she also plays Poux Puzzle game and I have seen how fast and flawless it plays same games I have the problem with. So, I would say its impossible to determinate where the fault lies :-)

Kaska and Char,

Thank you both so much.

Char - I will check my Java.

Kaska - I also have Dell XPS M1330 laptop and I am running Vista, Sp 1. Since I first made the post, I have come to believe I need a better graphics card installed. Until I read your post, I thought a Ge Force would do it. Back to the drawing board! LOL

It is frustrating, isn't it, when the older puter and older operating system handled games quite nicely?
