One of four things is *probably the issue:

Disclaimer: There may be other reasons, these are just the primary ones.

 

- CPU

- GPU

- Hard Drive

- Background Programs/Software

 

So, figure out what is causing the bottleneck in your system.

256 is about what you should get.

 

That can hold your OS and most of your games. ( at least for me )

HD is where you put pictures music and browers and crap that doesn't take time to load.

You could look into some of them SSD/HDD hybrids that have been coming out lately, they seem perfect for laptops.
