Good thoughts.
Firstly, by "slow" she means "slower than last week". And I think she might have a point, although its difficult to be sure. It seems to be related to file opening though, rather than processing.
If she wanted a new machine, then she'd say so. But given its an XPS 720 her chances aren't great. 7 years ago it was phenomenal, even these days its pretty good.
Funny you should mention Far Cry 3 - don;t you find that a terminally boring and crap game? She loves it, but I think its awful. Crysis for me. Although the graphics on her machine aren't butch enough for the Crysis 3, it runs the other three Crysis games (1, 2, Warhead) very well.
Also she has all Call of Duty (of which I think there are now 6) and they seem to run fine.
I am about to research, buy and install a graphics board for exactly that game (Crysis 3). Thoughts welcome.
On this issue though it seems to me that the machine is running slower than it was. however, my primary question was the fact that I simply didn't understand the MSINFO output around memory.
