I just purchased a laptop that came with Webroot. I installed Webroot, ran the System Analyzer and I was informed that the "system performance may be slowed down by an outdated CPU".  Could somebody explain this in greater detail?  The salesman assured me that this was the latest, best, etc.  Webroot also said the "graphics RAM is low which is impacting performance".  I have 5 other computers that I have been running Webroot on for over a year and have never seen these type of warnings.  The store where I purchased the computer says there's nothing wrong with the computer, so why do I get these warnings?

Hi JB68
 
Welcome to the Community Forums.
 
We get alot of questions along similar lines...and the answer is always the same; System Analyzer is just a baseline tool and not really designed to be an indepth performance analysis tool.  I am surprised, in fact, that you have not mentioned the usual "memory leaks" issues that seems to be reported a lot.
 
I think that in all of the years that i have been using WSA I have run System Analzer a couple of times...period.  It is essentailly a supporting tool and peripheral at that.  
 
Personally, I would not worry too much about the findings.  But if you would like to provide details of your CPU and your graphics card and its RAM then I am sure that some of the learned folks here would be able to advise as to whether they agree or not.
