Hi Mike,
Yep I have a laptop and I tried updating my drivers (they're already up to date). I have a Dell Vostro with quad Intel Core i3s M370@2.4Ghz, 64-bit Windows Ocho. I might stop by Best Buy this weekend to see what they have available or if Geek Squad can work their magic. I'm reluctant to spend $2Gs on a gaming PC unless I've explored these other avenues.
Thanks
