Alright, basically I use to play Guild Wars on my laptop till my parents decided to be douches and took it away. I play it now on my sister's computer. Strangely, the laptop was dual core like 1.7Ghz I think, and this computer is 3.21 Ghz, yet this one is playing at a constant 5-10 Fps, and on my laptop it's like 10-60 fps, usually 30-60. I'd like to know what could be wrong. My specs say I have 448mb of RAM, but then when I check the task manager, I'm already using like 568 mb for everything running with guild wars, and I can't seem to figure out my video card memory. I tried lowering resolution, I tried defraggin the file, went from 7.8k frags to 1, and still nothing T_T. Almost anythign that won't cost me anything would be of huge importance in helping me resolve this issue, as I leave in 2 months to the navy, and I would like to spend them beating some noobs in AB or pwning some monsters in FOW or UW (only GW players know what these terms mean, so don't bother :P), not crying over my 5fps that can't let me do anything but use the /cry emote.

Its because your sister's computer has a better CPU and graphics card. You have a single core CPU which is slower than a dual core CPU. The graphics card in your sister's computer must be better than the one in your laptop.

Yeah but how is it better than the one in the laptop when I get 5-10 fps, even with mabey 2.5 ghz, I can run GW pretty well on the laptop, but here on the desktop, it's just lag and the cpu goes upto 69C easily. I don't know, it feels a bit strange, even if it's dual core, I can't understand how a single core with almost the same amount as the laptop can somehow run this slow.
Edit- It hits 70C easily with GW on actually, and what it says on the properties of my computer is:
Intel(R)
Celeron(R)CPU 3.20Ghz
3.21Ghz, 448 of RAM
