Hi, since a year back I've been using this Scaleo X from Fujitsu Siemens. I somehow can't seem to find the papers really detailing what my computer contains inside, and I can't open it up without voiding the warranty. I've sent a request for assistance to their support department but haven't heard from them yet and was kind of hoping you guys here could help me out. I get really poor performance even on low settings in pretty much all games. Using high or low settings doesn't really impact performance much at all, I haven't done really in depth testing here beyong trying out diffrent resolutions though. I can get decent performance for small durations of time. The FPS is really jumpy. I've installed the latest drivers from the official ATI homepage ( Catalyst 6.4 ). I've also installed the latest sound drivers from Creative. Using sisoft sandra I've retrived the following information:

Gave 3dmark06 a shot. Got around 5-6 FPS on the graphical ones. When it tried to do the CPU one I got way below 1 FPS, so I had to abort. Does that mean that my CPU is broken? Sounds strange if that's the case because my computer doesn't crash at all.
