Latitude D520 Graphics

Yeah thats what I mostly do with this guy, flash games and like 2 other games, lol

Sounds about right.

What games have you got running on it so far?

 

[CAPcadet]

pfft, "Lux Deluxe" demo (a risk game) and flight sim, though I am too lazy to bring my joystick over here
i dont get why flight sim works....

 

[Zatharus]

Flight Sim 2004 has more lax restrictions on the graphics hardware needed. I have seen it run on some very old machines...poorly mind you, but it was running.

 

[CAPcadet]

Haha, well yeah, I never said it ran very well, lol
Thats legit I guess, lol

 

[Zatharus]

Just a suggestion...but don't try FlighSim X on that laptop then.

X-plane may work about as well (or a tad better) than FS2004.

 

[CAPcadet]

Hahaha, flight sim x on this... thats like halo3 on the pong machine, lol
or dividing by 0....

...dividing by 0...

 

[CAPcadet]

(0/0)to the square root of 0 squared

IMO see if you can overclock it,

if you can push it to max. it may work it may go pop.

 

[CAPcadet]

haha I dont know how to overclock >.<

 

[vauxforum]

familiar with bios?

 

[CAPcadet]

kinda.... hahaha, those are only accessible on startup though right?
Idk if I want to overclock, my computer gets hot enough as it is

 

[vauxforum]

up to you,
while your there you can turn fan speed up...keep it cool

Ummm....No... Not worth it... If you had read the thread Vauxforum, you would have noticed that this is an Intel 945GM chipset we are talking about....in a laptop. No....

 

[CAPcadet]

I probably wont, it probably wont help the lack of direct3D
Thanks for all the help once again though!

 

[Zatharus]

No, CAPcadet...that it won't....

 

[vauxforum]

no problem...if your saying it gets hot id go in there and change fan speed anyway imo

 

[Zatharus]

Or get a laptop cooler...

You can always try SpeedFan too. Adjust on the fly in Windows without resorting to messing with BIOS settings.

 

[CAPcadet]

it only gets got after a while, I dunno, I dont really want to mess with all this unless it will help a lot
Thanks alot once again though!

 

[CAPcadet]

Speedfan?
