    I've just bought a Fujitsu apper with the following graphics setup

    Intel® 82852/82855 GM/GME Graphics Controller (Intel® 852/855 Chipset Family)

    Intel 855GM with integrated 32-bit 3D/2D graphics
    controller with dynamic video memory technology
    allowing the usage of up to 64MB RAM as video
    memory depending on amount of main memory,
    3-D accelerator


    I've had trouble trying to play GTA:VC on it and I'm pretty sure it's down to the card - just how bad is this setup ?

    Can anyone guess what "normal" card (Radeon etc) would it be equivalent to so I don't go out and get me another game I can't play ?

    Where could I price new video cards for laptops ?

    Thanks for you help !

    Thanks sjones - I tried that last night but to no avail.

    I kept getting a windows error - do you know what operating system your mate's running ?

    Dont get a Nvidea card for a Laptop, the Radeon 9600 Pro series for laptops are the dogs ****... Big time!

    I have a 3Ghz P4 laptop with a 64mb Radeon 9000, a mates has the same spec laptop only with a FX5200 card...


    In Aquamark, I came in with a score of 13,000 compared to his score of 7,000. The difference you ask? I can play Halo, he cannot!
