There is a problem inhrent in all implementations of the 200m graphics chipsets. Basically, it is a driver issue where 3d performance is very limited with ATI's original drivers, sometimes even to the level of poor 3d acceleration. You can try a modded version of the catalyst driver (read Dhozerpoint or some similar one) from www.guru3d.com. Since installing those on my lappy, i've had considerably better performance with no issues.

thanks but i end up just reinstalling vista i eh able, not a fan of laptops to begin with, apparently is not only the ati drivers alone but the sound, wireless, and network, it eh make ah sense, if i put in xp no drivers if i put in vista crappy performance so i just set back the stock stuff
