Exclamation Newbie-

Hey all. I respect the site, good job.
Anyway- I have a gateway bout 1.4mgz and 1gb of ram.
sadly only 32mb graphics.

runs postal 2, unreal gotye, and rouge squad.
Choppy with glitches...anyway to enhance what i have, or
is it possible to update the graphics?

I seemed updating the graphics would be hard and expensive, so is there a way to use software renderering on all games? rather than direct?

much of thanks!
-Texan

thanks, that is what im willing to do. the question is, will there be a graphic card 128mb that will fit my laptop?

if so, i doubt it would be wise to do it myself eh? i dont know much about laptop hardware. the memory was easy to change but i bet the graphic card is more difficult.

keep me updated, -thx

You would have to check with the hardware developer of your laptop, dell, compaq, etc., to see if they sell a video card specificly for it.

Probably not, but you can take a gander and see.
