This is what happens when you get impatient , you have a GeForce GO 6300 Graphics Card which is very ancient.
and i doubt there is any way to upgrade this laptop, if you spent the same amount of money on a desktop you would have a killer system by now. Laptop is worth £479.99


PS. MAX how on earth did you work out that this off topic :? We are talking about his PC and its upgrades.

I've been looking at laptops too. Right now, I've made the choice of a Compal JFL92/Sager 2092. With my configuration, it is around the €750-800 mark. Great deal of you ask me, should've looked into that one, Rob.

You could always over write the Vista and put XP in so it could run faster...

Thats just outta my price range...I only actually had €500 lol but I squeezed €700...

I don't know if I'm going to get rid of Vista, it isn't as bad as I thought it would be...Besides I still have a PC for lfs...
