I have a Dell Inspiron 1150. I added a gig of ram so that i could run games smoother on it. being confident about playing games without a problem, I downloaded a game to beta test but it said that i needed to upgrade my video card. I checked out what kind of an upgrade i could get and to my surprise, the video card is attached to something really important (i forgot what the hell it was).

anyway, i just want to know if there's something that i don't know about that can work on this thing or if i have to trade it in (excellent condition). =(

From a bit of research i found out you have a onboard integrated Intel Extreme Graphics 2 video card attached to the Motherboard probably using the default 64mb of system ram. This is not a video card to play new 3D games there's is no hardware T&L a requirement in many 3D games. I would get a better laptop with a Nivida or ATI video system. What game was it?

Here is a Game playability list for this video card.

It was Requiem: Bloodymare. It looks really good.

I'll trade in my laptop after i find out how much i can get from it. Thanks a lot for the info. I really apreciate it.

    i thought everybody knew cocktails are like 75% ice
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Yeah but not like this.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's not like they're complaining that their Slurpee is 99% ice or something, but if the cocktail calls for "shot of vodka, shot of vermouth, shot of gin, shot of Campari, three shots of juice, squirt of lemon" and ends up being a thimbleful of booze, that's a problem.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    the funny thing is cocktails in norway are only allowed to have 1 20ml shot of booze
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    so..... yeah
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    we're used to only having a thimbleful of booze
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Booo.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    same thing if you want whisky on the rocks or something, you can't get a double
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    but you could buy as many shots of whisky (or anything else) as you want and ask for a glass of ice and pour them in
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    it's dumb
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Maybe.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    There was a comparison of the number of Ibuprofen poisonings before and after they limited the maximum dosage per box or per pill (i'll look that up). No limit on the number of boxes you can still buy as many as you want, so people argued it was pointless.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    But the number of (accidental) poisonings dropped because drinking an entire package of ibuprofen pills went from "I need a new liver" to "I need a new box of Ibuprofen".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Here we have ketoprofen that used to be prescription-only because of the risk of toxic dosages, but then they halved the dose per pill and sell them in bottles of six pills apiece instead of twenty and it doesn't need a prescription any more. Yes you can buy more than one bottle but people simply don't.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Usually accidentally overdose of ibuprofen here is from people taking like cold medicine then ibuprofen for a headache and the combination is over what they need
