I'm getting slow performances, particularly one with a GeForce Go 7400 in it. Yet, that's a pretty good graphics card.

My game runs fine on all desktop PC's, but choppily on certail laptops..

Is it possible that the display frequency is low? Can you also determine if there are CPU background processes or services running on those laptops which could impact general performance?

Im running my development on a Acer Travelmate 8210 with Vista Ultimate and have no problem with speed..

So I dont think its DGDK.NET where the problem is ?

I would second that
My Development Machine is a Dell Precision M90 running Vista Ultimate. I also have a few older machines all Laptops and have developed apps running on them and all is well.

(Of course they cap at 60 fps because of other reasons)

Well My M90 is using the Quadro FX 2500 chip under Vista
I do notice some issues from time to time in general windows stuff but overall using GDK it seems to run just fine. Is that because of the Dual core proc though? I would not think so.

My Other machines all user ATI chips (Alienware an old one, Dell Inspirons even older than the Alienware)
