fifa is going to "lag die", like extremely slow.

PES 14 would play but believe me,it's going to be slow, it's minimum is 128mb dedicated graphics mem..

You only have two options --- play an older version of PES, PES 13 would run well (even tho,you are going to get some blah blah messages about your video ram when starting the app) Or consider getting a new graphics card (512mb minimum).....



y'all should stop quoting me jare, you can get a new graphics card for a laptop..it's a two way fold thing, either you change your motherboard or get an external video card
Doesn't work

Othman made the declaration while delivering a keynote address, titled Creative writing and the challenges of globalisation – The mediating role of residency, at the 4th anniversary of the Ebedi International Writers Residency in the Oyo State capital.

The former commissioner, who now teaches English and Literature at the University of Maiduguri, said he had felt deeply hurt when the books, which he regarded as his most valuable possessions, were destroyed by members of the Boko Haram.

He said, “In all my travels abroad, I have never bought anything except books. When I served as commissioner for information in my state, I travelled all over the world. My estacodes went into purchasing books. Also, as a chief of staff with the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, I spent my estacodes on books.

Hello, please can the capacity of the video card of a system be increased? I made the mistake of buying a system with low video card memory, can it be increased or there's no remedy
Re: Things To Consider Before Buying Laptop by dabosuker(m): 4:04am On Dec 27, 2014
i was also surprised hearing laptop video cards can be changed grin. never heard that before, it is only desktops that can really be modified/upgraded i.e changing processors, video cards, ram . the last time i checked with laptops the only upgrade you can do is ram upgrade. changing video cards & processors is as good as changing mother board, which is as good as changing laptop, since laptops come with integrated VGA & processors. I am open to opinions different from mine smiley
Before anyone goes out to buy a laptop, decide what you want to use it for (mild work/hard work or play) and go for the one with recommended specs.

Its a laptop, have also done a bit of research and found out it can't be changed, the only viable remedy is buying a new one. Thanks for your reply, God bless
