    Besides closing pretty much everything non-essential there isn't much you can do, as your stuck with your hardware being as its a laptop. Stopping Aero from running and changing to the "basic" theme can also reduce the memory and CPU consumption as well.

    Normally I would suggest upgrading the RAM, but with 4GB thats enough already, so I don't think you're going to be able to change the situation.

    Whats your old tower specs?
    and yes you're stuck with that laptop. Which is why i always say a laptop isn't for gaming.

    Wait, are you talking about sending in the laptop?
    Do you have a desktop at all?

    My advice, find a decent prebuilt computer from best buy and you will be set. I plan on picking up 2 myself.
