Hi jamcapecod,
Please let me know when there is a lag. Is it on any specific application?

your pc may be stuck in integrated graphics. in-game look for multiple gfx card support or apply/switch graphics with nvidia control center...
this is your problem fixed here: http://en.community.dell.com/owners-club/alienware/f/3746/p/19406234/19963356.aspx (fn+f7)
you might want to look in bios for permanent change...
