    Hi,

    Im wondering if the wind allows controlling memory for the GMA950, its clock speed etc.

    Basically i want to cripple the graphics so it wont be able to play video smoothly and make it impossible to play all but the most basic games.

    For the backstory, refer to this thread:

    I doubt it. The MSI I had had no biso options whatsoever. That card will play games, but nothing new.. Like WoW, which is pretty addictive. I would say that it should be his punishment to have to work on a laptop that is 5yrs old or worse, so that he can only use word processors.

    Cant you do it from intel control pannel, set like the memory to 32 mb and juggle some other stuff, something that'd kill a card for games would be force ramping the AA up lol.
