see if you can hack it into a "FireGl" card :)




what chipset do you have in the laptop?

Turn all your hardware accel off while running MC with an ATI card. I've got an ATI on a Sony Vaio with all accel off and it works good except for some cursor 'ghosts' once in a while.

ok thank you that worked for me
thanks for the answer

Another thing that helps bunches is to set Master Cam's system allocations higher than the defaults. Out of the box, they are set notoriously low. This helped my system a lot.
