weird behavior on laptops?

hi

as i heard... laptops are weaker than desktop computers but when i comes to specs.. normally isnt specs just specs? maybe im over sensitive but... first i didnt think it played world of warcraft as clean as it should.

it worked like the computer held the game back kinda computer lag on no matter graphic and i got fallout 3 and my aspire 5920 should be more than enough for it? and when the game tests the game it sets it to high....
but when i look around and move around.. its like im jumping around, its not clean at all.

low or high graphic.. doesnt matter :S and when i got my laptop from the repaire shop i noticed a driver wasnt installed "pci memory controller" i found what i thought was the driver so i got some storage controller thing hen i installed it, and later now i get windows warning like graphic card driver is damaged or uninstalled or something and windows fixed it, ***?

is this normal? i wonder if i should install vista over again ( my computer is clean btw almost just formated it)

do you guys know how i can get my games to play clean? im lost and its annoying :S

thx

 

what is your gpu.

If it's nvidia, may be worth having a look at the drivers at www.laptopvideo2go.com

 

i got 2 ghz dual core, 2 gb ram, nvidia geforce 8600 m gt 256 mb ram graphic card, i looked at the latest driver at that site but 8600m gt wasnt on the list with all the other cards :\ only 8800 and up.

is there some driver update software out there which can be trusted and works?

These are some of the earlier versions that i could find the 8600 in. It may be worth posting in the gaming section, as you may get a better response from that section.

 

ok, thanks for the help
