I have an Acer Aspire One with 2gb of RAM and an Intel Atom N450 with a 32bit Windows 7 operating system and 256mb of dedicated memory. I'm able to chat just fine on Google Chat. It runs ok with other programs. It's certainly not fast but it's fine.
I upgraded to an Acer Aspire V5 with an AMD C-70 CPU and 8gb of RAM. I have a 120gb Samsung SSD and it comes with 4gb of dedicated video memory available and runs Windows 8 64bit. I can't chat on Google Chat. The delay is like five seconds. I can actually join the same Hangout conversation on both laptops simultaneously over the same internet connection and the old one performs way better.
On the new Acer Aspire V5 I have a fresh OS install of Windows 8. There are no virus scanners running as far as I can tell. In the Task Manager when I'm chatting in Hangout I see that Chrome is eating up most of the CPU which is running at 100%.
Is this just AMD versus Intel Atom CPU?? It shouldn't be - the benchmark has the AMD rated way higher. Is it the wireless card or drivers? I don't see why it would be because it is setup from the factory and seems fine in Device Manager. What's going on??
