I have a HP ZV500 with AMD Athlon 64 +3700, 100gig hard drive and whatever else. I Just got Company of Heros and a Battlefield 2 game sent to me yet it seems my system wont run it. I have tried to install and it seems I have all the computer updates.
I'm not in the US right now so its a bit hard to get help and support. Any advice would be appreciated.
Would you suggest I get a new card? Would my computer still be able to run any newer games with a different setup.
I would hate to drop another 2 G's on a laptop after only getting 2 years out of this one, but when I'm not out working and get the chance to use electricity this computer is the best way to kill time till I return back home to the states.
thanks, would the 6600gt go into my laptop, should i get something better? I'm not as handy with computer internals as other things, if I was to buy a new card online, could you be more specific on what exactly to buy so I dont order the wrong thing?
No, 6600gt is for desktop. nvidia use Go & Quadro series for laptops, that's why I'm wondering if you gave the information right? There's something important you've to know, an integrated graphic card is non-upgradeable (which a lot of laptop uses), even if you're using dedicated graphic card, upgrading a graphic card for a laptop is not as easy as a desktop computer. You'll need to send to factory for upgrade usually.
I'm not experience with laptops. But i think your graphic card does not support pixel shader which most new games needed if not all. That's why you can't run the games.
Yea, definitly the intergrated graphics giving you the problems. As far as upgrading it, I would think you'd be able to get a better Geforce Go card, then disable the onboard graphics in the Bios. Not sure though, no experience with laptops, upgrading them.
Do you have a book, motherboard book, or anything like that, that came with the Laptop? If not, you could probably find an online manual for it. First place I'd look for a how-to, on upgrading it.
