Yes, definitely. The X1600 is particularly nasty.

However, given that you mention it being part of a laptop, you will probably have to buy a completely new system.

X1600?
I thought it wasn't that different from my x1650pro (everything turned on at 1280x1024 and 4x antialiasing) or is it a problem of the mobile versions of x16XX series?
Just curious.

I had lots of problems with X1600 on iMac, but it is possible to get FS2 working.
