So I have a Sony Vaio PCG-GRX520 and, supposedly The specs on them all add up on call of duty, But when I installed it, and went to bust some caps, It was weird :<. It would Play, But everything was VERY choppy, and Like as I turned, stuff paused, and like he buildings were all Broke up, and unpixelated :(. I want to play it on that computer But it is being weird so i dont know what to do :(.

Were you in multiplayer? If so, do you have a good connection? What sort of spec do you have? [processor, gfx card, etc etc]

I always have a great connection...So I dont think that was the problem, and I believe I was in Multiplayer yes.

My Vaio is a Intel Pentium 4 Mobile CPU 1.60Ghz 256 MB of RAM, ATI Mobility Radeon 7500, 32MB of Video Memory and a 30gb hard drive Partitioned in half.

32mb graphic card might be the problem... idk... but its probably the first thing I check on.... Can you video card run direct x 9.0b?

Dxdiag Tells me that There are no problems, so Idk If it can or not. But it ticks me off, and I ran it a few minutes ago in single player mode, it does that in there too. It looks like a poop made episode of star trek to me :p.

256 RAM? That's your problem. You should have at least 512MB. (I think)

And I fully plan on it When I get some $$$ But as for know I am paying off a very expensive guitar :p. But It only requires 128MB of RAM, So I dont know if that is the problem or not but then again the game could be lying to me :<.

But When I do get some cash I plan on Upgrading the RAM and the hard drive, But I generally install stuff on my external HDD. The Problem is the Maximum amount of RAM it can handle is only 512 :(. So That appears to be all I can upgrade it to.

wait... you are playing it via external HDD? That could probably cause the "lag"

No I didnt Put that one on the external HDD. I ran that one from my hard drive and It works like it aint nobody's buisness on the other laptop, HP DV1000, 1.0gb RAM, and like a 100GB HD.


So It probably isnt DirectX Related.

Don't listen to UZ. Your rig will cost more if you try to update it than if you just buy a new one. I think your laptop is beyond the point of being worth updating

xiao. I never said anything about updating the card. xD

I just said I never heard of 32mb cards being able to run dx 9.0 :P

Yeah... my suggestion would be to buy a new one too. A new computer/laptop that is.
