Helllo,
I am not technically advanced unfortunately and need some help / advice. I recently purchased a laptop with Nvidia GeForce Go 7400 with 256MB. When I start SL now I am getting this message " GL indicates that the graphic driver on this systen is running in PCI mode, a slower method of drawing grapics..." Any way it goes on to state I can enable AGP graphics Acceleration which I have done now, but I am still getting this message. Is there anything else I should be doing in regards to game settings or graphic card settings?

Thanks

recomend you give the NGO Optimized drivers a try. I've always had success with them and if you goto the forums there are two guys who will make a custom talored NGO driver for your laptop for optimum performance. Also be sure to clean out your old drivers completely before upgrading, for that its recomended you use DriverCleaner Pro.
