I bought a Toshiba Laptop with a Intel® Graphics Media Accelerator 950 with 8MB-256MB, And Windows VISTA . Long story short. Vista is a crappy OS.
It is dynamic memory so it gets used on a as needed basis and if you don't need it the system uses it instead not the type of graphics power for good games
according to toshiba site, the videocard can go to 256meg. bios setup. http://askiris.toshiba.com/ToshibaS...42&url=&dialogID=8888928&stateId=0 0 10595186 support link http://www.csd.toshiba.com/cgi-bin/...F0U&smoid=true&ct=MH&ListType=Model&x=27&y=11

linux might work but not certain. don't think mac os will but might depend on the version. pm moderator creaky with this thread link as he is into linux if correct as don't need you to start another thread for linux on that laptop.
Hi escufrank, I have the same notebook as you and im having the same problem. Did you find a solution for this. I like XP Pro and i dont want to go back to vista.
pm creaky or deadlove as they are into linux & might be able to help you then start a thread in the linux forum so others can see the info to learn from.
Hmm, two things you'll need to bear in mind are that the GMA950 often has problems playing CS:S in XP(Although the original 1.6 should be fine) and also, Linux isn't always the best bet for games.
Come on be reasonable, Vista barely crashes. I have Vista Ultimate Edition running on a Celeron D 300 at 2.66 GHZ, with 512MB PC2700 RAM, no vid card(Built in GFX, Intel 845GV), crappy generic Mobo and Vista runs fine.
That's actually why. The faster your PC, the worse Vista runs. A 2.0Ghz P4 laptop from years back had to wait 3 seconds before the installer came up. It took 4 minutes on my mate's 4200+, 6 minutes on my E4300, and 8 when it was overclocked.
