Boom Enhancing an Integrated Laptop Video Card?

How can I improve the image and performance of a RADEON IGP 345M 64MB Shared Video CARD?

So far I have only updated my driver. I have a ze5375US HP Pavilion notebook. Any ideas?

Other than the drivers and perhaps tweaking with some of the settings there is not much else you can do on a laptop because the video is integrated with the mainboard and there are no expansion slots on a laptop..

The shared memory settings in the BIOS and the vid card settings under advanced properties. I'm not well versed on those, I just know hardware wise there is not much you can do to a laptop..

yeah... if you're stuck with a DX7 card, you can't really play the newest games.

Not much you can do. As ktkendall said, check the display properties. The only other thing is to get a new laptop.
