I'm running SH3 with Radeon Xpress 200m 128 Shared with a Mobile Athlon 64 3400+. I bought the notebook with 512 pc2700 DDR RAM and added another 1024...real easy to do!
I have tried several driver sets and the latest Omega drivers based on ATI release 7.1 look and work the best. Make sure you have the latest drivers for your CPU as well and disable as many running programs as possible before launching the game.
For a notebook, the graphics look pretty good and the game is definitely playable. I'm running it at PERFORMANCE setting (far left) in the 3d ati control panel settings.
Hopefully, as I continue to tweak away I can bump it up a notch or two.
Unfortunately, my integrated graphics and sound share the same IRQ. If I can find an easy way to move the sound to a different IRQ perhaps I will get better performance. However, I don't think XP like's that idea too much.
Cheers
