T23 - S3 Graphics SuperSavage/IXC 1014

Thread Starter 
I know nothing about graphics cards.
I am wondering, as i got this laptop free from a hand down (dad recently purchased a new laptop) and im a bit of an MMORPG player. Problem is i dont udnerstand graphics at all.

Its got a S3 Graphics SuperSavage/IXC 1014 Graphics card. To be honest, from experience it seems my T23 struggles to play Minesweeper! Okay, slight exaggeration but still, its not really playing lower end games well.

I have had driver problems in the past since S3 no longer supports this card. im currently on driver version:

6.13.10.1290

Is this the final driver? As maybe its my driver causing these problems.
Does anyone have important links to learining more about Graphics card.

I'll anaylise what i understand about my card.

S3 Graphics SuperSavage - Make and Series
IXC - model?
1014 - No idea.

I'll give an example of a game im hoping to play on my laptop.

The Game has drivers for ATI and NIVIDIA only.
This mean i have to have a top class card such as one of these.

Thanks very much.

S3 is a 16 MB video card. and the 6.13 is the last driver generation as far as I know.

Well I checked out that link and the screen shots and... yes... you might have problems running that game.

I have a T23 but I didn't not bought it for gaming. I searched my old PC Magazin CD's for older game demos and tryed a lot of them. Succesfully tryed at full graphics NFS 3,4,5, Unreal Tournament 2003, Praetorians, Delta Force 3.

My only advice is ... install the game and try it.
