Hi Babashri

I take from your question, you are asking for a driver for the built in graphics card of this ZX-1945LLM motherboard. Build-in GMA 950 Graphic support. Hope this will help you out.

The Intel Pentium Dual Core T2330 uses a Socket P processor socket,

The mobile Intel Core i3 uses a completely different processor socket.

So does the mobile Intel Core i5

The technology is different.
The motherboard chipset for one, is not the same.

The technology your motherboard is based on,

(CPU =Processor)

The Nehalem technology the Intel Core i processors are based on, does not use a Northbridge chip; in the motherboard chipset,

Change the motherboard?

Nope.

The case was built around the motherboard. It is for THAT motherboard.

From looking at the stats, the game requires a non-integrated video card. Therefor the game will not play on your laptop.

Your laptop graphics card can't be upgrade.It is integrated on your laptop's motherboard.

Graphics support is mainly determine by the mother board. based on the processor you have that mother board should be equipped with a PCI express slot. in that case YES it is Supported. make shure you follow installation instructions and check that you have at least the minimum power supply requirements for the card 380W or above.
Best of luck

The Compaq Presario SR5410F has a dual core processor running at 1.80 GHZ
Dual core means that it is actually two processors running at that speed so you easily pass the Pentium 4 2.8 benchmark as shown in this table. the E2160 processor is not shown but the E2180 is close enough for you to get the idea compared with the lowly P4 2.8

Command & Conquer, of the series Irecommend Yuri's Revenge (Red Alert 2)

it is becos the card is overheating or you cpu is overworking, try adding sum fans,

Not much. The intel GMA4500M is not a very powerful graphics format. Most new games run directX 10 and some will only work with DirectX 10 compatible cards. The intel GMA4500M can run Direct X 10...but not very well. Most laptops are not geared for gaming due to high end graphics processors use a lot of energy and can really shorten a laptop battery run time. There are laptops with high end built-in graphics by Nvidia and ATI. These laptops can be very expensive and are very large. In your situation you cannot upgrade the graphics in the laptop and are stuck with what you have. Most new games you will need to run them in low res for the frame rate to be high and may need to de-activate some of the Direct X 10 functions to speed up game play.

Hi youblazer,

That notebook does not have the capablity of swapping out the graphics chip set. I would recommend going HERE and make sure that you have the correct driver for your machine. There is an option that will allow HP to determine the correct driver for that card.

Aside from all that, there is a new option just coming out called "an external graphics adapter" Asus and Fujitsu are the only one I know of so far that have one, and it's quite pricey but, hey all new equipment is, and then it comes down in price.

Lastly you know you have an hdmi connector that if you wanted you can move the graphics from the laptop to your HD TV set for High Definition Gaming.

That's about all the options I can think of.

Good Luck!
