I get much lag while playing minecraft alpha, and my framerate is always between 4 and 10. It is terrible. I have no other programs open and my laptop is on high performance. Anyone know why this is, or how i can fix it? I used to play wow and had the same problem there, but then one day i just randomly started getting excellent fm(well for me at leas, 40-60). Unfortunately, a couple weeks later it dropped again and never got better. Any help would me much appreciated.

I don't like being cpt.Obvious here, but you are getting low framerates with settings turned down to low, right? (tiny fog, fast graphics, limit framerate, don't show fps (showing fps messed with my framerates on another computer))
The 8600GT is far superior to the gma 4500mhd. 3dMark06 scores:
GMA 4500MHD: ~600 points
8600GT: ~3000-5000 points
As others have mentioned, make sure you got latest drivers installed.
Also, make sure to play with powercord connected to your laptop. If your laptop gets extremely hot while playing (close to a burning sensation when touching), then you would want to put it in front of a fan with the underside exposed to the flowing air while playing. Hot lapots tend to perform extremely poorly.
Why do people buy nasty cheap laptops with intel graphics cards?
Because laptops generally die from heat in 3 years, so spending any more is a waste of money.
If you're serious about a computer, desktops a cheaper, more reliable and more easily customised and upgraded.
Laptops are only good for portability. It's a bad idea to spend 3 grand on a computer which will never be able to compete with a plain old desktop for performance and reliability.

Anything is possible when you smell like a man and your game is minecraft.
