The problem was Cool n' Quiet feature of the CPU was throttling the CPU Core speed down to a lower value. Upon entering StarCraft, the speed is supposed to bump up to full capacity, but it wasn't doing so as intended. The solution was to go into the BIOS and disable Cool n' Quiet to get the full speed of the CPU while playing SC2. | ||

I've seen laptops do that but never heard of it being broken. As a couple people already said it is a horrible idea to run your OS off a harddrive that had windows installed in another computer OS aren't robust enough to be used like plug n play devices. The problem with cool n quiet could be because of that. | ||

The problem with cool n quiet could be because of that. Yeah, I didn't realize that I could run in compatibility issues doing that. To me, the CPU and Motherboard was something completely independent from the Hard Drive, so a Win7 32bit that was installed on another machine wouldn't need to be changed (or so i thought) if you only upgraded those components. Wouldn't it be better if anyone could take any hard drive on any computer and install it on another computer without any issues? Like if I could take my hard drive out right now, fly to any of you guys' houses and install it in your computer, shouldn't it work? The answer I guess is probably, but not very well (if we have same OS etc., obviously I can't just plug and play my hard drive onto a Mac (or can I?)). In my case, it works, the problem was related to the Throttling more than anything else. | ||

It was mentioned at least twice on the first page to check if CnQ was causing problems, and several more times after that. Nathan, Doko, and Melancholia all brought it up. | ||

I had major stuttering on initial SC2 startup, lag entering matches, my first match would be TERRIBLY laggy in the beginning, and I would have terrible lag during large (2v2, 150+ food armies) engagements, and during replays at 8x I would not be able to abear it because it would skip jump and stutter, among other things.This is even with some setting dropped to low and medium. I just upgraded to 64bit and IT IS AMAZING! 4v4 at max armies get smashed with absolutely no stuttering on all Ultra and I finish 8x replays considerably faster than anyone else I have tested with. It's rediculous how much better the performance has been. And everyone who jumps and says the GPU is the problem is just guessing at what maybe they have experienced. My Specs: E8500 @ 3.16ghz GTX 560ti 4GB RAM (now running amazingly better due to proper dual channel) 680i mobo 7200rpm SATA2 HDD | ||
