I have TWO Gigabytes of RAM in my laptop! I think I have that part squared away! It uses just over half of it when running. Also, with dual cores, all the "other" processes move to the other core while the game hogs one core. Dual core does make a difference, and in fact, at times I couldn't tell if Norton AV was running its virus scan until I closed the game(s) and noticed it running. Since my dual core has one core pegged at 100% with pirates being the offending task I think it has to do with something hogging CPU power. I know it's the ads because the lag changes with the ad displayed. It almost halts the game when the Pokemon Diamond/Perl Christmas (with the falling snow effect) ad comes on, but the Pirates ad does not hit as hard. If I right-click the ad(s) and choose "Low" quality the game speeds up a lot, only to slow down once the ad(s) refresh. So every minute I am right-clicking the ads and choosing "Low" quality. I'm NOT buying something if they won't show the demo like it's supposed to run. The whole point of the demo is to WOW you on the game, but limit your ability to advance far until you pay up. This is not WOWing me at all. It's just annoying me on poor planning. Again.
