I have found that laptops seem to just run slower then a desktop with similar stats. In fact one time I bought a laptop to replace my laptop. The laptop had a faster processor, equal ram, bigger hard drive. Video card wise I had, at the time, a geforce 3 128megs of ram. The laptop had a ati mobile 64 meg something or another. Any case the laptop ran EVERYTHING alot slower then my desktop. I ended up selling the laptop off because it couldnt' do what I wanted. I mean you know your PC is crap when it can't run THE SIMS at a decent rate......
