Re: Just Got COD WaW Need Shader 3.0? Help

first of all is this a laptop or PC?

if it is a PC it would be wise to change your graphics card completly,also i have notied you have only got rougly 800mb of ram which is not really enough to run COD5 what i would do is to get a new graphics card from the ATI radeon 3650 range, they only need about 300watt to power and can run COD's at nearly highest specs! hope that helped!

you cannot upgrade graphics on a laptop. You've got what you've got (with dells, usually not stellar, either).

Most i can say is check with dell and see if there's an update.
