  1. Oh I guess I just thought that because it was newer it was going to be stronger then the 8800gt that I had in my desktop which ran second life really smoothly on high graphics, so it is weaker then the 8800gt from nvidia? If so I guess I should return this one and for the same price i can get a way bigger screen with only hd intel graphics then buy a better graphics card? what do you think? and what card should i get that wont over heat my laptop? Also, do you mean basically the the 310m isnt much stronger then hd intel graphics?
  2. I just recently purchased a new laptop Toshiba - Satellite Laptop / Intel® Core™ i5 Processor / 14" Display / 4GB Memory / 500GB Hard Drive - Slate and on board is NVIDIA GeForce 310M graphics with Optimus technology. I was so excited because my desktop has been broken for weeks and I was going to get to play SL again with a strong graphics card and processor. Well, I was shocked when I realized that this card doesnt work in SL . When SL firsts opens I get a message saying SL doesnt recognise your graphics card but it should be ok. So I can sign on and be in SL with the graphics all the way down but when I try to turn the graphics on high and enable antistropic filtering and 4x antialiasing (to get rid of those horrible jagged edges) SL will not open again once I log off. It says detecting hardware then shuting down. I have googled for hours and am no closer to finding a solution, I have downloaded the reccomended driver from nvidia but I am not sure if its an update to my specific one because disscussions i have read about this card say they released the card without an available update for the drivers. So here is the question, do I need to take this lovely machine back to best buy and get one with a card that loves SL? or is there a fix for this problem that will allow me to run high graphics like this computer should be able to? If the answer is to return it pls tell me what graphics card I should be looking for. This has really upset me, this computer was a birthday gift and its specs sounded so good on paper . I would be grateful for any help.
