Hey All,

In getting this Dell D400, it is a great laptop however the video card SUCKS. It is an onboard intel. I was wondering if there was anything I could do to get some more juice out of it.

Hack drivers, hacked bios, any suggestions?

You have the latest drivers?
That's about the only suggestion I can think of... with no hardware T&L, this is looking like something that belongs in the past, not the present, though ok for business graphics.

guess not much I can do, unless I can find a good quality ultralight with a real video card..thanks!

Dell have a "fire-breathing" model as well, but it's probably not an ultralight. Not sure if it was the Inspiron - I seem to recall that having Intel and Radeon Mobile 9600 versions...

A friend has a Mobile 9600 equipped machine, and it plays that KKrieger demo very nicely indeed.

you can play HALO on that. it actually looks half decent. I was totally supprized when I popped it on my friends comp and it ran. not as good as my comp obviously :-D but it runs well enough.
