    Hello everybody,

    I bought a W500 to use autocad and solidworks becuase of the V5700. So I load up autocad and I get this message from the proformance tuner:

    Machine Configuration
    ---------------------
    Processor Speed : 2.5 GHz
    RAM : 2519 MB

    3D Device
    ---------
    Name : ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3650
    Manufacturer : ATI
    Chip set : Mobility Radeon HD 3650
    Memory : 1512 MB
    Driver : 7.14.0001.6018

    Your machine contains a 3D Device that is not certified.

    That last part kind of bugs me. I thought the V5700 was IVS certified? Or is this some kind of AutoCad certification that it didn't pass. I would think if it was IVS cert. it would pass the AutoCad cert.

    Any thoughts? Anyone else getting this message?

    Your are not the only one with this problem, go http://forums.lenovo.com/lnv and look in the w500 section. Fix should be up in some time.
