    Those figures you have there shouldn't be a problem for NFSU at all. And correction it doesn't have 128MB of VRAM, just 64MB. More likely the problem should be with hard drive since it is a 4200RPM, and or the settings you set the video is all on quality rather then performance. Try to play around with the settings and see how it goes. If it doesn't work, put in a 7200RPM harddrive and try that.

    Hmm go figure. Just looked at the Toshiba website and it said 64MB, but who knows.
