Are you using BootCamp or Parallels?

it runs perfectly on osX but when i bootcamp it to windows it starts lagging even more during games that dont run on osX, the ram doesnt exceed 400mb, but the cpu usage just spikes up every once in a while. Nothing else goes up as high as system idle process for the cpu either.

I've noticed this when I play NWN2 in BootCamp ... my MBP has plenty of video and RAM to run it. Thanks for the solution!
