Espionage, I've tried playing starcraft 2 in window XP, it was kinda horrible back then during beta, im not sure about the performance for now. and yea, even core 2 duo 1.66 is struggling in CPU performance
AngelicTears, hate to disappoint you on this, but it seems like im not getting increase FPS,instead it decrease quite a lot when i play starcraft 2 (i even had to set the model detail to low but still its very laggy) =/ Hoping to hear from your latest modded work (maintaining the eye candy while a boost to FPS performance =D), You did your best and all the best to your next driver =) P.S. It seems my laptop kept off-power itself when things go incredibly lag and heat-up when playing starcraft 2 o_________o' P.S. i was inactive very very long, personal life plus not much to update except now is finding the best tweaking that enable 945GM user to play Starcraft 2, smooth,eye-candy and playable. I'll be waiting for the next updated sherry modded driver for my research.
