So I have lowered all settings and added more ram, but I still have lag. the funny thing is it doesn't lag when I'm not doing anything in space but when I warp it lags. the same goes with mission running, if it has a lot of stuff it lags. Is there any possible way to make this a better experience.

Perhaps learning what lag is would be a start.

The interface is unresponsive is what he means to say :P
While doing PI, if you have old extractors (and before this update) the interface was generally responsive zoomed in to a reasonable level on your installations. Once you remove the old extractors the interface remains pretty responsive. After you place a new extractor the whole thing goes to hell. I've had my fps drop to 9 with 4 extractor units on a planet. The framerate drop seems to increase as you add extractor control units. Turning AA down to 2 and setting lod quality to medium and setting present interval to interval one reduces some of the hit to performance but not by much. Once you exit the planet view fps will go back up to normal for me.

That's a crap top. Not trying to troll.
Short of running it in full screen with as few programs/processes running in the background as possible, you wont be able to upgrade that computer to anything that will make the game run smoothly. The lag you're experiencing is most likely your computer shuffling around the display memory/virtual memory.
Run check-disk on your hdd to make sure there's no disk errors which may slow down virtual memory. Make sure you've got plenty of free space on it too. De-fragment it. Try disabling brackets in your EVE overview and turn off graphic and display effects . Turn off chat logging. Reduce the games resolution to 1024x768. Reduce the color palette (both in EVE and your windows display. Disable windows aero, and any window animation, smoothing etc. Give your desktop a blank background. Disable game audio (especially eve voice). If you know what you're doing disable anti virus, and make sure software isn't updating itself in the background. Whip your slaves harder.

Pretty much what this guy has said.
With laptops they use shared video memory so there's another "fork-in-the-road" which your information has to go through in order to send/receive graphical data. In other words, they're not the most efficient at handling the images displayed on your computer.
Furthermore, the processor that is in that laptop isn't one of AMD's greatest accomplishments in CPU development.
You may want to start saving for a decent desktop upgrade.

and take a look at this screenshot

(yes, that's sitting still in space, with one client running, look at the fps changes...)
Systemwide unresponsiveness (not just in Eve) every 1-2 seconds.
Also, don't give me crap about laptops, I've been playing Eve on laptops for years, running 2-3 clients, now I can't even run one client.

Take notice of what? CCP can't stop laptops being crap for gaming, and they certainly aren't going to roll back 7 years worth of graphical upgrades to accommodate your prehistoric hardware.

Top of the line laptop, 1 month old and I can't even play one client with all settings on low, when I could play 3 clients at once with no problems before 1.1.0.
Give me a break and bugger off to your "my stationary computer that sounds like an airplane and makes it possible for me to save on heat is the only correct way to play any sort of game" fantasy world.

I've noticed some weird hang-ups when I enter warp as well after the patch.
Also, PI performance is even worse when running multiple clients than it was before.

If you had cared enough to look in the thread i posted above you could see my specs there. Apparently you did not.

Edited by: mechtech on 22/01/2011 05:34:06 The 7000m is about 30-50x slower than a fairly mid range current day GPU (GTX 460, $200).
That's just the best way that I can put it.
edit: as for ATI problems, check if your GPU is kicking down to idle clocks. I've had problems with my 5850 going to idle clocks even when gaming, ATI drivers are pretty crap, they're probably the issue.
