If the game doesn't natively support widescreen, you can go here on how to enable widescreen

NO, I never mention anything like so. Just disable the onboard GPU and use the HD 4570 instead, you free up some system RAM too, the HD 4570 saves a lot of energy too when idle, the clockspeed and its voltage is very low in desktop

Yeah I got that too, but its better to have it run on its aspect ratio than have it stretched and looks ugly

Whatever the driver you use, I advise you to disable it IF you got problem with switching between GPU. There is not much point using it too, apart from reduced power usage

HD3200 consumes less power...

wat he meant was that HD4570 dun consume that much power compared to HD3200 (afterall, it's still a low end card... how much power can it suck???)

Meaning the onboard saves power, but the 4570 when idle saves power too.

Currently I use the driver from the CD, I've tried DNA before, not much difference. It supposed to have some tweaks over official driver, but the main reason why I put it there is because the official driver from ATi/AMD DOES NOT support Mobility cards
