    Hey evyerbody,
    I apologise if there this is another repeat but I couldn't find it referrgin to GS not GT of the 8600. I have the latest HP Notebook Pavilion Entertainment dv9521tx. These are the following specs:
    Vista Ultimate 64bit
    Core Duo T7500 2.2ghz
    2gig tam DDR2 (2Dimms)
    Nvidia geForce 8600m gs
    --> up to 1023 mb TurboCache total Graphics memory with 256mb dedicated for more than or equal to 2048mb system memory

    And for me it hasn't been performing well for the latest games using Dx10 Rendering: it lags and very slow, and the audio is delayed. To my knowledge this system should be able to play Crysis and World In Conflict efficiently. But both games lag when even on medium lags and sound delays.

    If anyone could help me with this problem or any insights into 8600gs performance capabilities would greatly appreciate.
    But it would be better if there was a way to fix things so i can run such games - Driver updates or hardware updates ... ifpossible 4gig ram DDR2 or if possible placing a 8600m gt in my notebook: if my notebook can run it.

    Thanks Heaps

    Don't expect that card to be running Dx10 games like Crysis, most people havent been running it in dx10 with the 8600 cards, try running it in dx9 it should run smoother but it wont look as nice.
    Driver updates could also help the performance a little bit as well.
