Default M5405 laptop
Hello im having a prob that i hope someone can help me with. I just bought a emachines M5405 laptop. I downloaded the new Driver 3 game today and my laptop wont play it right. The game is fine until i try to play it. Im having graphic tares! I have the AMD moble sempron processor. But i guess my laptop cant play 3D games. Now my question is, is there some kind of driver download i can get so my laptop can play 3D games? or is there anything i can add to get my laptop to play 3D games? Any info would be a great help! Thanks

specs:
Windows xp home
sempron AMD processor 1.6 Ghz
512 MB ram
60 GB hard drive
24x CD DVD rom
64 MB graphic
directX version 9.0[/b]

you said sempron then you list p4...
my guess is that your video card isn't good enough to play the game.

yes i know that my card is not good enough. I have the sis-M760-256 video card in my laptop. Emachine told me that there should be a driver download out there that should update me video card, and enable it to play 3D games. Now im just woundering if any one know of any downloads that could help me with my prob?
