    I was trying to play Freedom Fighters but it was running SUPER fast, Ive read around and the problem could be the drivers forcing VYSYNC, how can i turn it off?

    I don't know really, but what if you force the game in software mode?

    You can try this too, although it's not for x3100:

    Follow the steps below to disable vsync.

    Note: The Intel® Extreme Graphics Drivers and Intel® Graphics Media Accelerator Drivers do not support disabling vsync for Microsoft DirectX* games or applications.

    If using Microsoft Windows* 2000/98/98SE/Me/NT*:

    1. Access the OpenGL settings here: Start » Settings » Control Panel » Display » Settings » Advanced » Intel® Extreme Graphics or Intel® Graphics Media Accelerator Driver tab » Graphics Properties... » OpenGL or 3D Settings

    2. To disable vsync, set Asynchronous Flip to On, and then click Apply.

    If using Microsoft Windows Vista*:

    1. Access the OpenGL settings here: Start » Control Panel » Personalization (or Appearance and Personalization » Personalization) » Display Settings » Advanced Settings » Intel® Graphics Media Accelerator Driver tab » Graphics Properties... » 3D Settings

    2. To disable vsync, set Asynchronous Flip to On, and then click Apply.

    Thanks for the reply, youre right getting to that setting is a bit different, but regardless, turning it 'On' did indeed solve the problem

    Thanks again
