You might have a lot of dust in your computer.. try blowing it out (don't blow too hard, it can jack things up) also, if you have a laptop, buy a laptop stand, gives it better airflow underneath :)

The de-dusting is really good advice.  It can make a ton of difference if you improve airflow.

If your laptop actually overheats from high CPU usage... like stops working properly... then you definitely have a cooling issue.  Either one or more of your fans are not working properly or airflow is restricted.

On the other hand, if it's just getting hot and still functioning properly then it may not be something to be concerned about.  I mean, if you are using your laptop actually _on_ your lap and it's making your legs to hot then that's an issue but not an issue with the laptop itself.  It might be operating normally.  (In ten years, I have not used a laptop that I could actually use on my lap without frying my legs. :))

i have a acer ASPIRE
intel pentium processor t4300 2.1 GHz,800Mhz FSB
4 gb memory
320 HDD
intel GmA 4500M up to 1695 mb Dvmt

should these be able to run mythruna smoothly becouse it doesnt real work very smooth for me. and any ideas to raise my fps

Pressing F12 changes render distance. It starts at 128 every time you start the game, and goes to 160, 192, 64
Pressing F9 turns off post-processing effects, which might help
Pressing F8 turns on low-quality shaders, which might help
Pressing enter to open the chat and typing "/flora low" and "/trees low" (without the quotes) helps a lot of people
Your hard drive might affect how long the game takes to load, but I don't think it has any effect on in-game speed.

yes i did all of these and i still end up with like 4 fps

Sorry you are having performance problems.  Mythruna really isn't optimized for older or lower-power cards, unfortunately.  Someday I will work on making it run better on older cards but a) that won't be until after alpha, and b) "older card" may still end up being more powerful than what you have now... since that will be a long time from now.

in the next year i will be trying to upgrade to a Alienware 17x or x17 whatever the name is then i shouldn't have to many fps issues

That may be out-dated by then, and if you aren't going to really travel with the laptop, you should get a desktop. Desktops are cheaper :D

Build your own desktop dude.
I would literally help you through the whole thing if you wanted to build one.
I'm just thinking of the beast machine you could make as apposed to buying a $1500 laptop.

It's not for everyone, of course... but you will feel special.

For reference, the two Mythruna workstations I built two years ago were AMD 6 core beasts with GTX 460s in them... I got good cases, power supplies, RAM, etc. all source from Amazon and they were $800 each.  Well, the second one as $900 because I put a blu-ray burner in it.

Yeah, if you have the money and the need then definitely go for the laptop.  Otherwise, you can generally buy two more powerful machines (and more upgradeable) for the price of one laptop.  4 machines if that laptop is a mac. ;)

Heck, you can still make an awesome machine for $800 and use the money on something else.
