    So my GF has a 1525, I installed portal on it with all the lowest settings possible and it was fairly choppy, at times dropping to like 5FpS, at other times it ran decently at like 40FpS though.

    Whenever I went through a portal and sometimes just randomly the screen would kinda flash too... I know it only has the intel itegrated graphic accelerator, but i was under the impression that even that wasnt so bad..

    Are there new drivers out for it or anything that improves that performace? Current drivers are dated 1/2/2008 or something.

    Yes, there are new drivers available at Intel's download center that should boost the performance somewhat, but don't expect miraculous results.

    P.S. Shouldn't you be playing on your Sager? :p
