Finding drivers for my video card

I've been looking for a driver upgrade for my video card (Intel Extreme 2 M) everywhere (It's for a laptop if that matters), but I can't find it. I'm trying to run portal but it's not allowing me until I get the latest driver. Does anyone know where I can find it? I've searched the Intel site for quite a while but to no success. I can't find anything remotely close to that type.

Edit: So nevermind. I found it, installed it, and it still says that it's too crappy. I hate you, Alienware. Y'all know if it's possible to upgrade my graphics card to something a bit better if it's a laptop? >.>

Im guessing you can upgrade your graphics card.

IF you know how to open your laptop, Take out the old graphics card, put in a new one, and install the drivers.

Or you could pay someone to do it. It also depends on your motherboards support for graphic cards. (i.e. If you already have the top graphics card your motherboard supports then its time for a new PC.)

I wouldn't expect something like this out of Alienware though.



None.

DarkenedFantasies -- Probably just didn't care. For example, at some point before release, they've updated the graphics of some of the Protoss buildings (Forge, CyberCore, Citadel, Observatory, Arbiter Tribunal), but instead of properly re-rendering them with edited 3D models, they did crappy copy-paste jobs on the rendered graphics.

Ultraviolet -- I suppose we'll likely never know, but my guess would be that they already saw it operating successfully and there was no monetary incentive to finish the original work. And the dev cycle in old school Blizzard was so hectic, it's possible it just got forgotten about after the original game got released. Plus there's an element of existing MPQ files that were packaged with the original discs becoming outdated if they updated it. And it's not like they remade the original MPQs, they just made new ones for BW specifically

Oh_Man -- so that makes me think maybe the theory they are unfinished is not true and its a deliberate design decision, coz why not finish them wen ur making brood war?

Oh_Man -- the thing is thos buildings are from classic. that means they went ahead and made brood war without ever finishing the 'unfinished' buildings
