hi,
i can play f.e.a.r on my laptop with a intel gma950,b 4 i go any ferther these are the specs i get when i run the video test with all the settings on lowest.
f.p.s
min;11
av;33
max;61

f.p.s distribution
46% below 25 fps
10% between 25 and 40 fps
44% above 40 fps

now when i play f.e.a.r (looks crap but plays pretty smooth) i can play for about 3-5 mins then the screen goes blank and the igfx display driver stops responding then recovers!
i know the gma950 shouldent play fear, but how come it lets me play for awhile then stops? is it when the fps drop to min level? any suggestions on why the display driver stops resonding?
Thanks

Your graphics card is overheating most likely...

Yeah me neither.... i dont think you can add any extra cooling since it is a laptop, and something like a Zalman fan wouldnt fit in there...

I just dont think you will be able to play those kinds of games....

Another post about gaming on your GMA950? I do think that would cause cooling issues, since it's the game that gets my GPU the hottest of all the titles I play.

I don't think there is a specific graphics temperature for the GMA950, but it's probably contained in the chipset, so just use a program like Everest to check the motherboard chipset temperature.
As for XP and Vista, as long as you install Vista last, you can use it in conjunction with XP.
