Hi ipood*danny* from clan iPood here. You can find me on youtube ipooddanny and my newest video-- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A5PbHypT1l8 .This guide is on how to make you're gaming experience better. One key thing about any games is the FPS(Frames per second). YOU MAY SKIP THIS PART. Bottom line is the higher FPS, the better. *Taken from wikipedia* "Frame rate, or frame frequency, is the measurement of the frequency (rate) at which an imaging device produces unique consecutive images called frames. The term applies equally well to computer graphics, video cameras, film cameras, and motion capture systems. Frame rate is most often expressed in frames per second (FPS) and in progressive-scan monitors as hertz (Hz)."
First off, to get more FPS you should end all the programs that is not needed. Including any anti virus/malware/spyware programs (Norton, avira, etc.). Since you are playing a game and not downloading you do not need this.
Secondly press cntrl+alt+delete to the Windows Task Manager and click on the tab Proccesses. You should end any programs that is not needed to make you're gaming less 'laggy'. Some common things you should end is: Msn, firefox, internet explorer, aim, iTunes, Limewire, Bittorrent, Utorrent etc.
You can also end the process 'explorer.exe'. This is the process of the toolbar, and icons on your desktop. This is not needed while gaming. When you're done gaming go to the Windows Task Manager-->file-->(New Task,Run...) and type in explorer.
Another thing you can do is defrag your hard drive. You can also speed up you're internet connection-->http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GgaG8...eature=related

nice guide! it really helps!!!!!!
btw if you're going to get a new pc, don't get a laptop unless you got a lot of money to afford a laptop with nvidia graphics
get a desktop pc, if u don't want to buy a monitor, use your lcd tv
buy a logitech mouse/keyboard and get a cpu with nvidia graphics over 500MB total memory -
