Hello Everyone,

I have a Dell Inspiron 9200 laptop. The specs are at the BOTTOM. While playing online games, my frame rate decreases by a lot.  Sometimes it picks up again, but for only about 2 seconds. I've pinged the websites and it seems as if I'm not loosing any data on the transfer.

My specs are as following:

Dell Inspiron 9200
1.60Ghz
598MHz
1.00 GB RAM
(Laptop)

Hope you see this!

I can't help you with that  , but I know that my friend has the same PROBLEM as you do and he also uses a Dell Inspiron.
 The experienced users on this forum will surely know something ? Because my friend would love a solution to this problem too  Is someone else using the same router as you?  They could be downloading something at times where the frame rates decrease, and rates increase when they are not downloading anything....Yeah. 8 other people. But there's is FINE. EVEN if they connect after me.so you SAYING the other people doing same thing you are -- playing same online game at same time you are, do not have frame rate issues?Is there a particular game this occurs with?All games. I usually game at y3.com. But yes, the other pc's work fine besides  mine. And mine is a better comp! Ok, well the games at Y3 are all flash games. A lot of things can lead to performance factors with flash.

1. Too many flash objects running at the same time. The most common culprit for this is social websites where people embed numerous flash objects on their profile, causing some systems to slow down. Have you got numerous pages open with lots of flash objects running?

2. Have you downloaded the latest version of flash? http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/

3. Excessive programs open and running in addition to your browser? Close some.

4. Clear your browser cache.Depending on what you're doing, sometimes flash causes your browser to use high CPU % which slows down the flash thing that's working. At least I've had that a few times.Here are a few ideas:

1) MAKE sure your flash is up to date.
2) Open up task manager when you try to play and watch the processes and CPU %.
3) Try another browserIs your laptop plugged in to the wall (power) when you play?

If not...try it
