Thank you everyone for responding - I think I should (perhaps) have been a bit more specific - yeah I would love S/L to run as it should but...like others I have more pressing needs for £1000 :-), and a laptop is what I need due to other commitments around the Country.
At the minute S/L runs "ok'ish" for me (though, of course, I am probably in the realms of I have NO idea how good it could look) on my Dell Inspiron 1525, my question really is - on a budget which onboard graphics will perform at least as well as what I have already, or ideally a bit better. Thank you again for your time
