The problem is as you guessed, the video card.
Even with 256+mb AGP cards you get choppy video and also VERY high temps

I didn't even know that you could run this game on a 32meg card.
A suggestion would be either try to replace the existing card, or yeah...get a desktop

Unless you've got a ton of money for an alienware it's not of much use to play video games on a laptop:

They overheat
Battery life only about an hour with strain on your gpu/cpu
LCD Displays aren't very conducive to gaming

DISK SPACE PLZ?
BANDWITH PLZ?
802.11G (with a regular router) is like being on dialup.
d000d teh keyboard r small!!!
so r teh mouse!!!!!!
krick in the neck?

If it is absolutely necessary to continue on a laptop try contacting the manufacturer to see which cards (256+MB) are compatible (if any) with the ltop.
Try for ddr2/ddr3 on a gpu.

well down load the driver from here (if ATI) https://support.ati.com/ics/support/def ... lderID=293

and if from Nvidia...download from official site.

after that, look for the ati catalyst mod tool and follow directions

same happend to me
