I'm on a Acre Aspire 1710 laptop with P4 3Gig CPU 1Gig RAM Photoshop 6.0 and Carrara 4.3 Pro with no problem. Have you tried updating your video drivers? (The strangest things can happen because of them, and not always video related too.) Sometimes an older video driver can help over using the latest... and sometimes you need the latest to get the most out of your system. It's a crap shoot at worst, and voodoo at best! ;) I would agree with Mark that contacting Eovia might help. Good luck!
