    Hi folks.

    I wondered if you had a link to the ATI Drivers for the R20 notebook?

    Thank you.

    If you want more recent drivers, you can also use AMD/ATI's integrated Catalyst version ("Motherboard/IGP Drivers"), but you may have to patch the installation files with this.

    You can also get updated NIC, audio, and touchpad drivers directly from Realtek and Synaptics instead of using the old stuff on Samsung's websites.

    Hi again.

    Im on XP and installed ''chipset graphic driver'' WIN XP from the global download centre.

    There is an improvement but there is still a lag when i scroll down forum posts or images or when i drag folders..

    I would suggest that you try having the Visual Settings as Best Performance + smooth screen fonts. This is under My Computer > Properties > Advanced.

    See if that makes everything scroll smoothly.

    Are you sure it's not the drivers?

    I was trying to reduce the load on the driver. I don't think there is any substantial performance difference between the various versions of the ATI driver. I haven't have the problems you describe with either the ATI or the Intel integrated graphics, but I always have my visual settings as described above.

    Another possible factor could be the graphics RAM allocation. This increases as the main RAM increases. How much RAM d you have and is it in one module or two.
