Dear All,
There are quite a few peaple asking about the ATi cards fitted in VAIOs at the moment and a comomon suggestion is to use the Omega drivers (www.omegadrivers.net). I thought I might tell you about a little known (and hence used) feature of this driver set which is quite useful!
This is RADLINKER.
It allows you to set graphic card options for individual programs. This is handy as say, for example, you may want to set you grahics card to high quality for something that is easy to run (i.e. Quake III Arena) but to high performance (and hence low quality) for something a bit more demanding (i.e. DOOM 3).
Heres how to use it (assuming you have installed the latest Omega drivers and they are functioning correctly):
1. Right click on the Icon (say DOOM3) and select 'Create RADLINK'.
2. A new icon will appear that is similar to the one you just clicked on, it will have a slightly different name.
3. You can now delete the original icon (and rename the new one, if you so wish).
4. If you now right click on this icon, you will find a whole new set of options for the graphics card which are for this file only!
Smart eh!

PS DO NOT USE the overclocking options, mobile chips cannot cope with the associated heat increase and will quickly fail!
