EQ2 runs super choppy(never played on this laptop)

[Derrick]

<span class="postbody">A friend gave me his laptop to fix... its a Toshiba Satellite P105 S6084....He was having troubles with it and it turned out to be a bad ram piece.I ordered 2 gig of ram from Crucial to put in it and it got here today.... they sent me a 1x 2gig ram slot instead of 2x 1 gig ram... I checked the site and the 2gig SHOULD work just fine.. doesnt need to be a pair to function normally(though the pairs work better but still). So I check the BIOS and it shows 2gigs... i check the "System" properties and it says 2 gigs.....So i load EQ2(i got my friend to try the game.. so its never been ran on this laptop before...) and as I load into the game its EXTREMELY choppy... its almost like .5 to 1 second lag between the time the screen refreshes... stuff just bounces around the screen and thiers a 2 second delay between when I click/double click on something.. to the time it responds(ex... i dbl click a item to equip... 3 seconds later it asks me if I want to attune it).So i check the performance settings.. i set them to the Extreme Performance.... i make sure I try everything and its STILL SUPER choppy....so i check the Task Manager and show that its only loading about 500k memory for EQ2... now I know my laptop has between 900k and 1000k loaded for eq2 at any given time.... thiers not a lot of other proccesses running and they definately dont add up to the 1.5gigs of ram im not using....It SURE seems like a lack of memory problem.. however his computer only has a generic graphics accelerator(and mine has a nVidia in it) but his laptop isnt more than a year or 2 old so even with the graphics accelerator it should be able to run EQ2(i think)... it ran WOW flawlessly with 1 gig of ram... i now have 2 and it cant run EQ2 well at all right now.Any clue why when I log into Darklight Wood that the laptop will not load more than 500k into memory for EQ2???FYI I ordered the ram from Crucial, the computer can accept the single ram slot, it is the right type of ram, the computer can hold upto 4 gigs of memory.... im sure im missing something but let me know if their is something I can try... thanks</span>
