  I had the same problem on my old pc (2gig ram)

  To extend the "life" of your pc try using a flashdrive to increase your memory. (It worked for me) This will allow you to increase your memory to 4 gigs of memory without opening the case.

  Here is a link to a youtube video explaining how to do it.

  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a0ciNEiTOiQ

  Make sure you use an adblocker. I recommend Disconnect. It uses less memory than the other blockers.  https://disconnect.me/

  Use a dedicated browser with no ad-ons or plugins other than the blocker and flash. Every ad-on and plugin will suck up memory.

  Tweek a couple of other things in your WGT set-up.

  There is a lot of what I call "artwork" in the WGT game. This all takes memory if loaded.

  - Turnoff Hole in One challenges

  - Change flash quality to medium (low will give you a better meter, but it makes it harder to see and play the game.

  - Lesson Button off

  - Reflections off.

  - Hole info display off

  - Flag animation off

  - Surveys no

  - Credit offers no

  - Swing meter boost off

  - Tee shot data off

   - Background loading off

   - In the game (when it is your turn to play) you can get rid  of the David Leadbetter tips  that display when selecting your club and shot type. Do this by clicking the little arrow on the top right corner of the box

  Last, but not least, play using the pop-up gameclient, but do not play in a maximized window or in full screen. The smaller the game the better your meter will be. I used to size the window to approximately 10.5'w x 8" h. The resizing of the window and change of game settings will reduce the amount of memory the game will use.

  I hope this helps,

  Did everything, still jumps a little.

  OK don't know what happened.

  Got rid of Maxthon and went back to FireFox.

  Swing bar is smooth.

  Using the memory stick, but I don't think it means a lot.

  If things go bad I'll let you people know.

  OK 

  I don't know why, but in FireFox  before I restart my game there is a commercial, where in Chrome there isn't.

  Swing bar is smooth in FF but not in Chrome.

  I have my Ad Blocker on.

  It looks like all my options are turned off on both games (web page) before I play.

  I shut off all pages before playing in both Chrome and FireFox.

  Trying to make this as consistent as I can.

  If you are seeing a commercial, check you ad-blocker setting. You should not be seeing any commercials.

  Getting a smooth meter in Chrome with little memory is difficult at best. Chrome uses a lot more memory that Firefox, and will leave Google processes running in the background.(It does this by default)

  Check Chrome is see if it is running apps when browser is closed. This will effect both Chrome and any other browser you are trying to use.

  I suggest sticking with Firefox and keep tweeking.

  ......Remember Murphy's law......you will be happy and have a smooth meter....until......you need it the most.
