Hi guys, new here. Please take a look at my laptop hardware and suggest how I can improve the graphic speed - Benchmark on this laptop was a C at 9.6 fd @_@ ... Intel Core i5 M500 @ 2.67HZ Intel HD Graphic (don't think the laptop came with any game graphic cards) 1300 x 768 x 32 (ARG B8) DirectX 10 If it's to do with graphic can someone please suggest one that will increase the fd to at least 60 or more? Thank you for your help !

It's the Intel HD Graphics that's holding you back.

Hi thanks for replying. So what should I do...? Do I get a new graphic card in this case? BTW found a XFX GeForce 9800 GT Standard card on Amazon, can anyone verify if this will be suitable (for laptop)? http://www.amazon.co.uk/XFX-GeForce-9800-GT-Standard/dp/B0038J092O/ref=pd_cp_computers_1

Thats for a desktop, not a laptop. Few, if any at all, manufacturers will include GPUs that you can switch out. This probably isn't one of them. Theres nothing you can do except use DirectX 9 instead of Directx10 when launching the game. Make sure all your settings are at low too.

While there are some laptops you can upgrade the graphics card with this one you will be stuck with the intel intergrated. Best thing is to play it on a desktop which you can improve if needed, unfortunately your laptop has no chance.

Thanks for the reply guys good to know anyway : ) I will try to play this a PC instead, which will defintely need the graphic card above. BTW where is the game data (ie ammo, weapons and game progress) saved (on the DVD or on the computer)? Will be really crap if I need to start all over again on the new PC. : P

You can find your save game progress in the My Documents folder under Capcom. You might also need to copy your gfwl profile data also which you should find in

C:\Documents and Settings\"username"\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\XLive

I know it caused me problems when transferring save files from different machines on other gfwl games.

Copy those folders on to a usb stick and place it on your pc.
