I'm about to buy a new laptop. I'm looking at the HP Compaq nc6400 which comes with a choice of IntelĀ® Graphics Media Accelerator 950 or ATI Mobility Radeon X1300 video cards. I presume that the latter will support SL perfectly OK. But it is a much more expensive option than the former (at least in the UK).

Has anyone got SL working with the HP Compaq nc6400 and IntelĀ® Graphics Media Accelerator 950 combination?

Thanks,

Art.

Omg, don't get the Intel version. Linden Labs makes it clear that Intel cards are not supported, and you will be lucky to get a system working with Second Life using that hardware. I couldn't find any threads regarding the ATI Mobility Raedon, but I found some on the Intel. They are all bad, lol.

I would honestly recommend you look at an Nvidia card, which in my experience, handles OpenGL a lot more gracefully.
