    I recently bought dell inspiron 1520 with T7250 c2d processor , 2gb ram and 8600gt 256mb ddr2 geforce graphic card. Now I expected to play atleast games like "Need for speed : most wanted" on high settings with moderate 800 by 600 resolution. But the frame rate is so poor that i can barely play at that. So i decided to reduce the video settings to details minimum nd resolution to 640 * something.. (even lesser then 800 by 600) nd still the game lags .. hangs in between and is unplayable. Can somebody help as i am not a pro in gaming settings and all. (i played bioshock nd it worked fine at 800 * 600 medium settings. considering that nfs is a bit older.. i thought it shud work fine .. no ?? )

    please help .. :)

    Change your drivers, www.laptopvideo2go.com

    In the forum sections update your drivers and you will see a HUGE difference. :wink:
