    I installed F.E.A.R demo on my inspiron xps gen 2 and everything is cool but i dont seem to be able to run it at max res, its very choppy, slow frame rate, and if I select auto detect hardware, it sets the computer preference at minimum. I have 1.5 gb ram..and we all know what kind of videocard this machine has. Whats the deal?

    well im not too familiar with the XPS 2 but i know that the highest settings on FEAR, probably arent possible on a laptop yet...im tellin you even on a desktop you probably need 2 graphics cards to run that thing full throttle...its just too detailed to handle fully yet... :)
