    Would my HP Pavilion Dv2510eb Core2 Duo T7300 / 2gb 160gb NVIDIA GeForce 8400M (64Mb reserverd) be able to run BioShock at low settings?

    The 8400M 64mb vs 128mb shouldn't make a big difference... So if the 8400M G 128Mb can run BioShock I'm hoping my gpu will be able to run it.
    What is your opinion?

    I'm having trouble playing this on my m1330. I installed the updated drivers from laptopvideo2go and everything went smoothly. However, when I go to run the game, the screen just hangs on a black screen. I give it a good 5 minutes (which I shouldn't even have to) and eventually exit out to the task manager and close the program. Anyone have issues with Bioshock similar to this?-- and possibly have a fix? Thanks!

    EDIT: I found the answer to my problem here http://forum.notebookreview.com/showthread.php?p=2406062 Thanks!
