Hey man I HAVE 128MB Video Card. But it still crashes. Besides, I just got this computer 3 weeks ago. Its a new laptop. Who manufactured it? Whoever did needs a good kick in the nuts. Either that or you do for buying it. |

Well uhhhh.........HP Manufactured a laptop with intel centrino and a crappy integrated video card. And I didn't really buy it. You think I have 11,000 bucks in my pocket? I don't think this is a very good gaming computer when it comes to having video cards that can support the high quality intense mind boggling graphics of BF2.
And don't say I need a kick in the nuts cuz thats where you'll be.........jk.

Laptops arent ment for gaming.
Just go back to the store and return the game.
Even if they blab on about the no return policy demand that they let you return it.

Laptops arent ment for gaming. And there isn't a mobile PC around that costs $11,000. Not one that won't play BF2, anyway. |

This laptop has everything it takes to play an awesome game. Only thing that sucks about it is that the video card is integrated into the proccessor. Other than that, it has everything it takes.
And like thats going to work. Demanding to return it. They'll return it if it wasn't opened, and it was.

Hmmmm....I can do that at EB Games without getting mad at them. They said if I bring the game and the receipt, they'll give me 5 credits toward the shop. Wow 5 credits. I'd rather sit home and play Dungeon Siege.

Most games say that Laptop cards will not work.

Unless you get a video card that is meant for games (nVidia and ATi make some very nice ones) installed in your laptop, get ready for it to not play a lot of games.

Okay, so I can get the correct video card installed. Will it cost any money?

No, there are just homeless guys all over the street corners with lots and lots of extra laptop video cards laying around. They'll install them for you as long as you give them a sandwich.

............really funny..........
Anyway. I can't replace the video card on my laptop since the card is integrated into the processor. So the only way to get my video card replaced is to get the whole processor replaced, which I am not going to do. I've got a few ideas......
I can look for mod patch on the internet, which is unlikely. This is something neither me, nor my dad does alot, but, ah he told me not to tell anyone so screw it.
I can sell it to my friends, but for 40 bucks....since it was opened......

40 bucks is a good deal if you ask me. You'll be out 10 bucks and have learned an important lesson.
Before you actaully go through with it, may I suggest downloading the latest driver for your card? That tends to solve a lot of issues.

I believe that even tho you have an integrated video card in your processor, you can buy a new one and just disable the integrated one from your BIOS.
