by dr_rohitvyawahare . Updated 18 years, 4 months ago

i have bought LENOVO 3000 Y500 MT/MOD: 7761-46Q series laptop 6 months ago but m having some problems with it like..
i cant play games even which do not require that high configuration like NFS-underground2, WOw, NFS-most wanted,
and a lot more…why is it so? even after updating the drivers,
when i go in display settings and see the adapter information it shows me in the following way..

adapter type : Mobile Intel(R) 945 Express Chipset Family

why is it that the dedicated memory is 0 MB?
