I8600 and FX Go5200
I was wondering if any I8600 users have been able to play Warcraft III with the Fx Go5200 video card. I get choppy, stuttering gameplay when I try to play this game regardless of any video settings in the game (from the best video settings and highest resolution to the absolute minimum video settings and lowest resolution). The game is at least a couple years old and my system and video adapter (see below) FAR exceed all minimum requirements to run the game. According to all support from Blizzard (the manufacturer) there should not be a problem with my video card. Just to alleviate questions about the obvious: I have the latest video drivers, system bios. I have also tried running the game in selective startup mode without loading startup items to make sure that it was not a background process of some kind that was interfering. Any help would be very much appreciated,

- I have the same problem, except I'm on an Inspiron 5150, 512mb ram, geforce fx go5200 64 mb.Unfortunately, I couldn't upgrade to a better video card when I bought the 5150, and I hear on the forum that this is the best graphics card available for the 5150.I should be able to play warcraft III on this computer, I far exceed the minimum requirements and have also tried warcraft on low settings just as the original poster has.This is clearly an error on Dell's part, since they are responsible for releasing drivers for these components. Anyone else have this problem? Can you fix it by upgrading to 1GB ram? Please post so that we can let Dell know that we need a solution.thanks.
- I recently found a solution to the problem I described in my original post about video stuttering in Warcraft III on my I8600. Perhaps this may solve your problem as well or others that might have a similar issue. I found another post on the Dell forums (link below) from someone having a different video problem when playing Warcraft III on an I8000 with a GeForce Go video card. Someone suggested running it with OpenGL instead of Direct3D. This fixed the problem on my computer. See the thread below on how to do this.
