Without knowing the details, such as game name and settings level, I'll focus on general laptop tips. Make sure Windows' power profile isn't in some battery preserving mode. Set it for maximum performance. Game on AC power, not battery power. Use a program, like MSI Afterburner, to monitor...

You use the driver for the graphics adapter you have. If your notebook has Intel HD graphics then that's the driver you update and use. If you mean you'd like to add an AMD or Nvidia graphics card, that would depend on your notebook. Some can't be upgraded. Without the exact model number it's...

It should be sharing main memory. Are you sure it's only using 64mb of vram and you're not referring to a 64bit memory bus?

I have a couple of ideas, might not help but who knows? From Blood Rayne 2 page "GeForce 3 or higher, with Hardware T&L (Transform & Lighting)". Some low end graphics solutions do certain things 'in software' rather than via hardware. For lots of uses this doesn't matter, but for gaming you...

If it works on battery power, but malfunction on AC power, maybe it's the AC adapter. Or possibly the plug on the laptop, that the AC adapter connects to, has a bad connection. I know from experience a lot of electronics have plugs that are attached via their solder and nothing else. Over...

Those two computers are in entirely different performance categories. Since you want this to be useful as long as possible, the Asus is the way to go. Heat is an issue that needs watching with any laptop, especially when gaming.

Save the money. I have the Takstar Pro 80s, which is the same thing but in the form of a headphone and not headset. The sound is great for gaming as well as music and movies. 5.1 or 7.1 in a headset is nothing but a gimmick. You have two ears, you have two drivers, one over each ear. Clean...
