    First, I fully understand this card is not really meant for gaming. But, its what I have (in my Dell M20). I do intend on picking up an Asus v6va within the next month or so, but I'd really like to play in the mean time...

    So, can anyone out there suggest settings specific to this card that might help speed up games like Civ4, Black & White 2, Myst V ect... or am I just sort of screwed?

    Also, I have access to a z63a (it has an Intel 915GM chipset in it). Am I better off trying to make that work, rather than the ATI?

    Sorry if these are pretty basic questions. I'm trying to come up the graphics chip learning curve ;)
