XP
Nvidia GeForce 6800 GT
1GB RAM
FPS: Single player missions 110 to 85. Noobless 28 person server about 40 to 5 depending if the lag printer is on. 
Pentium 4 CPU
It's amazing what a new video card can do.

WTF, why did you steal my computer? 
Edit: oops, I just remembered that I have 2 GB of RAM (4x 512MB), not 1 GB. Otherwise, same stuff unless my 3.2 GHz P4 is faster than yours.

That's almost the same as my old computer too. A Pentium 4 2.8GHz (it was a Northwood, not the much hotter, slightly slower Prescott), 1GB RAM (4x256MB), and a 6800GS (modified into an Ultra, as it was the AGP version). The video card and RAM were more than enough, but in larger servers, the CPU lags it a bit.
My new PC is fast enough to let me find out that the Renegade engine apparently maxes out at 512FPS (was gotten in-game, not just the menu). In reality, I get about 180+FPS in small servers, ~120FPS in medium servers, and barely drop below ~80FPS. Unless it's a very large server with alot going on, then maybe it gets to ~60FPS at worse. I play at 100Hz (1600x1200), so that's all the FPS I really get so it's basically constant 100FPS, but I usually play with v-sync off (slightly noticeable tearing, but it seems slightly faster and slightly more fluid).
As for FPS issues, I've found it's either something in the background taking CPU cycles, or a weak CPU period, which would cause it to run slow. Renegade's old, but it does need more CPU power than anything else.

As I said.. a 1.5Ghz Celeron CPU with stock onboard graphics just doesn't have any bollocks in it.

I was just commenting in general with my last comment, not specifically saying why the one with the slow game problems was having them.
To answer though, let's hold up for a minute and not just make assumptions on a name and number. This is a Celeron M here, not a traditional Celeron. The former is far better. The Celeron M (and Pentium M) are not based on the Netburst architecture, but on the Banias/Dothan core, which was Intel's attempt at a better architecture, and it was based on the Pentium III (it sits between a Pentium 4 and Core Duo/Core 2 Duo, in other words). Yeah, it's still a Celeron, and yeah, it has a lower frequency, but don't just assume something because of the name. The Celeron M and Pentium M were "okay", certainly enough for Renegade. I think it's the onboard video that's more at fault here.

Terminator, did you try a format and windows reinstall? If you never did it for over 3 years, then this may actually help your laptop run faster.

Yes I did, about two months ago. Perhaps I should do it again.
Maybe this could be the problem: The hard disk stores factory computer image. After I did a reformat, I used the stored image to put the computer into the state that is was at when I first turned it on. I then changed the main HDD partition into NTFS. Could that be the problem?
