Laptop issues

[varune]

I'm trying to run Ryzom on my laptop and end up having a lot of trouble with settings all the way down. The problem is it gets very laggy (low fps) in open areas. It has an independent 128mb vid card with a 1.8ghz amd turion64 and 1gig of ram. I dont see why this shouldnt run smooth as silk on low settings. (I run max settings on my pc w/ 2.2ghz amd athlon with 256 card and 1.5 ram w/o lag - my processor is not taxed nearly as hard for whatever reason)

I notice the problem with Ryzom is similar to problems I've experienced with other mmo's while using programs designed to lightened the processor workload. EqPlaynice to name one. Apparently the program clashes with something in laptops (I was told speedstep type technologies but thats intel and I have an amd chip). My question is - is there something in Ryzom which is intended to lighten the processor workload that conflicts with laptops? Or is there some other simple problem that I am having. Whatever it is... its causing 100% processor usage.

Noticed my anti antialising was off and causing most of the problem.
