Can someone tell me which components play the greatest role in making a flash game run smoothly? I'm trying to find a way to play a flash-intensive game (Gardens of Time) without it freezing/locking up while loading, or lagging. I'm not tech savvy, so I'm not sure what I need to look into.

I play on Chrome because no matter which computer I use, this game runs slow on Firefox (this is a game I play through FB), So, partly I'm wondering:

1) does add'l RAM improve performance in this type of game
2) would having VRAM have any effect
3) Is processing speed more important? If so, should I be playing this on a SSD?
4) is the video card the key to getting the best gameplay?

I play on 3 diff computers - whichever my kids aren't using. So I may upgrade one or have to buy my own. If I buy one, I want to know which components are most important for this purpose.

Two computers I use now are desktops, both play the game. They have the same specs but one performs better (I don't know why). The 3rd is a laptop and I'm barely able to load the game, so have given up even trying on that one.

Thank you to anyone that can give insight.

probably more of a software issue than insufficient hardware. an SSD might improve performance, but again it wont fix your problem if the OS is unstable. what version of windows do you run? i'm more asking to find out how old it is, and how much it's been tweaked by malware
