    Hello Everyone

    I just got my m1330 yesterday, and everything works perfect. Until I tried to play Crysis Demo, everything was too laggy even at the lowest setting. My 1330 has a decent configuration, it is 2.2ghz, 3gb, and it has 8400 graphic card. I am wondering why cant i still play crysis even at the lowest setting? Am i missing something?

    Thanks everyone

    the 1530 would probably run that game better but the 1730 would run its smooth if you can handle the size :)

    Well that is a bit odd............I finished playing crysis in 4 days in my M1330 and it played really well at mid-low settings(lowest resolution).............try using the 169.09 Nvidia driver

    Sorry but your playing one of the most taxing games on the market aka it requires some mega gaming power on a system with only a 128mb video card. The M1330 is meant for portability. Not gaming. The 1530 and 1730 would do much better with 256mb or higher.

    Yea I have a Quad Core [email protected] and an O/C 8800GT and I am stuck at 1280x1024 and all high details. Even then it chugs a bit. That 8400GS will handle everything but Crysis.

    Did you update your video driver? Should be automatic with windows update.

    I can run crysis on lowest everything at around 20-25fps
