• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

You have to activate the ATI catalyst and set the card up for 4x/16x and it slows you to about 25-30fps but no stutters. I had every setting on high. Make sure you have a notebook stand with two fans-cost $24.00 extra bucks but it keeps it cool to keep on gaming. Also played Call To Duty, Brothers in Arms-Hells Highway at reasonably good graphics and speed.

None too shabby...resolution must be set pretty high to get results on such a small screen?
First post R3C2, what airport is that?
 
Bill it's not mine. I just put W7 on it for a friend. The pics turned out a little better than the actual screen as it is a little grainy, but the cheap little unit actually contains and ATI HD3200 video card that gives surprising results.

My old laptop has an ATI X1200 and gives pretty good graphics for FS9 but not as fast as this unit I am working on. I highly recommend it based on price/performance. It's too bad it uses the AMD x2 QL64 the X2 RM72 upgrade would have made this unit really sing.
