    i have a digital hinote vp that i got free from my friend.
    its very old i noticed that flash games and videos dont play very good.
    the games run slow and videos skip few frames.

    Well...........um.........

    You would need to upgrade alot firstly its a pentium 1 with mmx and 32mb ram and like 2mb video right should explaing why.

    But the pixels and laging is mainly caused by the cpu having no more then 100mhz and not being able to refresh n stuff fast enough videos use cpu more then any other part.your video card is very very weak you should upgarde it to atleast a 64mb for today (2006) ram is shocking 32mb you should upggrade to 256 or even 512mb if it can support it but there really aint much that you can do to the cpu youd have to change your whole mainbnoard to fit a new cpu. its really not worth it ythat laptop most probably wont even let you add a graphics card and no more then 256 or less ram in so its really your choice between upgrading these things or saving up for a new one

    there really isnt much you can with this laptop at all. =( maybe up your ram alittle but i doubt it'll let you use higher than 64 or 128mb. upgrading this latop would cost more than just buying a new one and you still wouldn't get very good performance. i'd recommend just saving up for a cheap refurbed one.
