    Improving GMA 3150. So i found this nifty trick on the net and after completing, windows said my graphics performance increased from 2.9 to 3.1

    right click desktop background
    select graphic properties
    select 3D settings change values to this order

    Asynch – ON
    Triple buffering – OFF
    flipping policy – Flip
    defasult buffer bit – Default
    force S3TC – ON
    Force FXT1 – ON
    Driver Memory – High
    Texture color depth – desktop color
    Anisotropic – OFF

    for texture color and default buffer bit you can change to 16bit but, 32 bit apps will not work.

    thanks a bunch for the resoloution availibility netbookist

    Another time old tweak of windows, use the task manager

    after opening game, preferably with gamebooster eliminating all unnessacary processes
    press ctrl+alt+del
    select processes at top of window
    right click on game or app you are using
    highlight set priority
    i set priority to high because realtime makes sounds glitchy
    then right click tskmgr.exe and select end process
    if game screen does not pop up after closing task manager, press alt+tab to reveal game.
    enjoy!

        Can’t. This is a school netbook that has to remain with the non-netbook (aka desktop formated) version of ubuntu, despite the fact that Windows 7 starter was PRE-INSTALLED. I have stick with this netbook, until after my senior year where i can buy it for a dollar.
