There is an owners forum here: http://forum.notebookreview.com/showthread.php?t=320676 You may get some more answers there.

I would not use external monitor for gaming, it will stress the 9650GT GPU more as a result, Does the game work @ the LCD's native res? Vista x64 should be fine, and the Notebook will work with it no problems. I have not played the particular game, So perhaps check the Gaming forum as well as to the best settings for it.

 

Hi nightwing, and welcome to the forums!

I'd recommend updating your graphics drivers to a newer version from laptopvideo2go. The Asus VGA drivers are often the most stable, but don't necessary provide the best performance for gaming. Also make sure you have your power adapter plugged in since your GPU will automatically downclock when running on battery.

 

To save what is already a not so great battery.
