Fudge the damn rating. How does it really work?

Isn't the new one running smoother?

Ensure you have newest drivers and all that, perhaps the rating system is envious of your new computer.

Something I've had issue with before is that the processor gets throttled on a laptop - try putting the power setting to max (rather than power saver/balanced) and see if that makes a difference.

Click the "Battery" icon on the lower right of your desktop & change to high.

Also make sure you have updated your graphic card driver so FM runs smoothly.

1) Right click the battery icon in the little bar on the bottom right of the screen.

2) Select power options.

3) Select high performance if it is not selected.

*assuming you are on a version of vista.

(hovering the mouse over the battery indication will also show you the current selected power option).
