QUOTE(shady @ Nov 1 2008, 09:24 AM) Use the HD3200 drivers or download latest Catalyst from AMD website, use driverheaven's Mobility Modder and mod the inf so you can install on your laptop. I'm using latest drivers from AMD site modded with MM. I'm already using the latest CCC from AMD's website, thanks to Mobility Modder. I was just wondering about the difference between the two drivers that I posted. btw the AMD RAID driver (part of catalyst 64) is not necessary right? I already removed it. No noticeable difference so far.

QUOTE(shady @ Nov 1 2008, 03:38 PM) no just started playing. my desktop playing soviet at 1650x1080 full settings. my lappie playing empire at 1280x800 lowest. the chicks are quite hot. EA made the right decision not to go for Sup Com like graphics so all hardware can enjoy this game. I think intergrated graphics can handle this game too. Movie and story like is cool. Mobility ModderJust follow instructions on that page. Very easy. Hopefully price will drop or something better will appear for budget segment.  i still stuck at 32 percent.... haha

At first, only 125AX, then a few weeks after that 126AX come out. Any way I rather save RM 200 for other things.

As I know, 125Ax and 126AX only differ on the preloaded Vista Home Premium (on 126AX only) The other specification are the same in which both have bluetooth and the other CQ40 and CQ50 series dont have.

The training level was okay, but the first mission (raining ship) was laggy. IIRC the optimal settings were mostly medium, and the resolution was 1024x768. I'll play around with the settings some other time.
