There have been reports of crashing with the X3100 in a laptop.

There's a supposed fix at http://jira.secondlife.com/browse/VWR-4330 .

It is possible that this has been fixed by now, perhaps someone else has more current info.

Might be useful to say exactly what model you are considering.

Perhaps if you said how much you can spend people could offer some useful suggestions in that price range.

I misread your first post... I was thinking Intel GMA X3100 not the ATI X3100..

Is there such a thing as an ATI Radeon X3100?


The closest model number I can find at the Toshiba site, Satellite® Notebook Family: L350 Series, says it has the Intel X3100.

I don't think there is such a thing as an ATI Radeon X3100.

I see a number of places listing what the OP listed, but I suspect there mey be a repeated error.

I think the Bestbuy ad has an error.

I think it's the Intel X3100 that it really has, the one that is a problem with SL.

I don't think there is an ATI Radeon X3100.

You could check the Toshiba and ATI sites.

This is as close as I can get at the Toshiba site: http://www.toshibadirect.com/td/b2c/cmod.to?coid=-35451

Sorry for the now confusing deleting of posts that may have actually have been relevant. I should have know to just edit rather than delete. It's like accounting.

Make absolute sure that card is in that laptop before you buy it. It maybe a typo and it is a ATI X300... I can find no information on a ATI X3100 anywhere including AMD/ATIs own site.

I found a ATI 3100... No x in front of it. I kinda doubt it is better than the ones I recommended and deleted earlier...

Tigerdirect shows that exact model with the Intel X3100 , not a Radeon 3100 .

Pretty confusing.

As mentioned and deleted, there have been reports of crashing, but supposedly it's possible to fix the problem.

I would try to find some other systems in that price range and post them here before buying the Toshiba if it has an Intel X3100.

http://www.circuitcity.com/ssm/Toshiba-Satellite-P305D-S8828-17-Widescreen-Laptop-P305DS8828/sem/rpsm/oid/215097/catOid/-12963/rpem/ccd/productDetail.do

Perhaps Osgeld should step in with an Ibuypower recommendation.

It's entirely possible that the first model you mentioned does actualy have a Radeon 3100. That's what it says in this review of the L355D-S7815 at http://review.zdnet.com/laptops/toshiba-satellite-l355d-s7815/4505-3121_16-33155829.html?subj=fdba&part=rss&tag=MR_Laptops .
