I had to listen to someone drone on about their politics using connections like this today.

Here's an interesting experiment: Go to speedtest.net and select a server in or near jersey and see what ping you get. Mine for Jersey is: Mine for Dallas, Texas (more local) is: It looks like it is worse to Jersey, but my ping hasn't been that high. They make it really easy to share those graphs as well which is nice.

Just so I understand right you play CSS just fine on the same laptop that lags out on DOD:S right? The first thing I would try is disabling your wireless modem (right click My Computer, Manage, Device Manager on the left column, expand Network Adapters, right click on the wireless one and click disable). Then connect with an ethernet cable to see if you still get the timeout issue on DOD:S. Also check and see if your wireless modem has the most up to date drivers. You can search the model name you find in the device manager to find the most recent update.

My comp is almost the same as the first you listed but an AMD 4670 1GB graphics card. Plays anything I throw at it at pretty high settings too. But I built it myself, I would NOT buy a gaming computer at Walmart. After building my own, I wouldn't buy one anywhere.

notebookcheck.net does a great laptop graphics card comparison including game benchmarks. They don't benchmark DoD:S but looking at the 525 on other games you should be good to go. http://www.notebookcheck.net/NVIDIA-GeForc...5M.43889.0.html
