pulley Posted March 31, 2006 Report Share Posted March 31, 2006 hi all, had a toshiba p20-801 messed up sent it back to get fixed through home insurance. well back and forth between me and them for 4 months, they now say it is beyond repair and have offered me a new laptop. here is my problem the card in my old one was a 128mb nvidia geforcefx go 5700 the new one is a ati x600 256mb. i have never used an ati card can someone tell me if this is equal or better then my old one. and i can't find drivers for it if anyone knows where. all so the old laptop had a p4 3.20ghz and the new one has pentium m 1.7X , is this any good. thankyou for your time. the new one comes monday. hope it works better lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sn0wl Posted March 31, 2006 Report Share Posted March 31, 2006 Graphics card is better, I can say processor is better as well - nearly equal if not just a little less. Technology-wise its way better, less power consumption less heat generation etc. For GPU you probably modded need drivers for ATI card or use OEM's driver. With a small google-ing I'm sure you can find them easily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill Posted April 8, 2006 Report Share Posted April 8, 2006 http://www.driverheaven.net/patje/ Tool for modding ATI drivers, just get desktop catalyst and the tool and off you go. Also the first page you find when you search for "mobility mod" on google. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
