some mobile PCs don't use the "video card" but only the chip;\nlike a network adapter or modem or USB adapter build into the motherboard; you can't use Intel's driver for a NIC build into a PC's motherboard; you depend upon the motherboard manufacturer to provide updates and drivers for the build-in components;\n\nsame goes for the ATI chip in your HP\nyou should \n-1- go to Add/Remove Programs and remove any GRAPHIC dirver installed (from HP or ATI); no need to reboot  yet\n-2- download http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=ob-43162-1&lc=en&cc=us&dlc=en&product=468676&os=228〈=en from HP's support site (it's the video driver for the ZD8182)\n-3- restart\n-4- install the driver downloaded under -2-\n-5- reboot\nthis is the best you'll ever get as driver for the X600 built into your portable; keep in mind that the X600 only has the features of the 9000 serie (SmartSheader 2.0 aso.); thus it won't play very recent games too well and only at lower resolutions alas.

Try windows update\nhttp://www.windowsupdate.com/\n\ndo not go for express installs, but use it manually, there you should find drivers for video cards.\n\n\nIf that fails, try the vendor of your graphics card. They might have it (you didn't give details on which vendor it is, only the chipset)).\n\nBTW: The type of CPU is irrelevant.

Turions are faster.  clicks and pops are 100% driver issues since its rare to have IRQ conflicts now with PCI steering.

#1 is RAM - always improves performance\n#2 Video card - check if you have pciExpress or AGP

Ok dude, here's the deal; \n(1.) You can update your video card driver by right clicking on my computer, then click on properties, then on the hardware tab, then on device manager, then click on display adapters, and finally click update driver on the top of the page after higlighting your video card.\n\n(2.) You can buy a new video card and install it. (You could take it to Citcuit City and have them install it for you if you don't know how, also  keep in mind that they are expensive if you wan't to keep up with today's modern games.)\n \nGood Luck---Hope I helped

If you can run Oblivion, I'm guessing you have an ATi Mobility Radeon X300?\n\nIts not exactly a high end card, but some high end games might work on low settings, others might crash.\n\nSee if you can find any patches for the games with the problems.

That is on the video card. before you update the hardware, have you tried to install the latest drivers? (often times N-vidia will give the capability of better color options in newer drivers. Im sure ATI does the same thing)\n\nif not, find your make and model of your card and go to the manufacturer's website to see if they have the latest driver for your card and OS\n\n(note: you mentioned that you are on win 98. microsoft is set to end support for it in early july.)

Any of these will make you one super happy man :)\n\nI also believe you have an AGP port instead of PCI-Express\nhttp://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.asp?N=1069609639&Submit=ENE&Description=geforce+6600gt&Ntk=all\n\nHere is a link of how it performs in 3dmark.\nIt gets a pretty good score. Although a 6200 is also a great card as you  can see the 6600gt is about 3 times as fast as the 6200.\nhttp://www.tomshardware.com/2005/12/02/vga_charts_viii/page18.html

You might need to go Lenovo website to get the correct driver for your particular notebook graphic driver. ATI website doesn't usually list the driver for mobile graphic card.

Try reinstalling the driver for the Nvidia GPu in your laptop.\n\nError happens if : You installed the wrong OS driver by using force.\nOne of your GPU memory chips got some error.(the driver could not specify which chipset the laptop is using)\n\nGo to nvidia.com and get the exact driver.

If i was you i would rather download intel drivers. Or if you're gonna install the NVidia drivers just make a system restore point.\n\nhttp://downloadfinder.intel.com/scripts-df-external/Support_Intel.aspx#  thats the site do download driver form intel
