GE does a fair amount of processing after downloading a significant amount of data.

So, it could be the spec of your PC or your Internet connection. Tell us a little more about your PC and connection.

ok, may be the graphics card then. ram's also a bit low, but should be ok for google earth. and while i'm sure it is possible to change the graphics card on a laptop, it's typically very difficult.
