Old games have lag spikes
I have been searching for a solution to this problem for 2 weeks every day, on this forum and others, and no answers have helped me. Simple: lag spikes on older games. Offline. Games like counter strike 1.6, condition zero, source, and age of empires 2. Those are the older games I have installed so far since buying my laptop two weeks ago. Graphics work fine and everything, though every 15-20 seconds I get lag spikes for like 3 seconds, and it resumes flawlessly. Please, no one give me any bullshit answers like try compatibility mode or update ur drivers or get directx 9c. First thing I tried. No help. I tried setting affinity to one processor, as I have 2 cores and 2 hyperthreading. No luck. Note, on new games like civ 5, empire and napolean total war, and medal of honour airborne, no issues, no lag, nothing, just flawless gameplay on the highest settings possible. I wanted to download virtual pc, but they won't allow it for windows 7 premium. Upgrading IS NOT an option, as I already spent $1300, and for that money I expect to play older games that are max 10-11 years old. If people can play DOS games through an emulator and work fine, windows 7 should be able to play 10 year old games, like Age of Empires 2, which they made personally. All these games worked and still work fine on my old comp with XP SP2. My old comp has 900 mhz processing power and a poor graphics card with 512 mb ram. If that comp can play it on the highest settings, why can't my super gaming laptop? If anyone can give me any real answers, I will be really grateful. Here are my specs.
