... there's one culprit that jumps out.
You have one PCI Express x16 slot free. Stick in a better video card. Integrated graphics are to gaming what quicksand is to skating.

sorry for wasting your time, it was my fault actualy >_> i thought i applyed the graphics changes and i apparently didnt. Once i lowered the graphics the game went smooth as butter. sorry for the waste =/

Incidentally, integrated GPUs for laptops are a peculiar beast it seems. They certainly aren't ideal for gaming, but generally seem to perform a -little- bit better than similar desktop integrated "solutions". Just my experience anyway.|

Glad you figured out what your problem was, but for what it's worth, you may want to take Bill's advice and stick a new card into that rig.

Same, my laptop is nowhere near a gaming laptop but it runs CoX with few problems, as long as I keep the graphics turned way down. |

The only time I have any serious issues is on an 8 man team with mostly blasters... then it just starts crawling and says "see, this is what you get! make it stop!!!"

I just recently purchased a brand new PC, and for some reason CoX is running slower on it than on our older Laptop, I can not figure out what to do to fix this problem... even with the settings all the way down the input to action lag is extremely bad. Here is a link to the specs on the PC:
