But there are "desktop replacement" laptops and laptops built specifically with gaming in mind. Mine is a desktop replacement rig...crap battery life (about 2 hours) and weighs 10 lbs, but it's taken every game I've thrown at it so far.
You call 2 hours of battery life crap? 2 hours of battery life is godlike. Mine has an impressive battery life of one half of ten minutes. On the other hand, it *DOES* rule over other lappies with its 42-pound, allegedly portable fist.

No won't help me but maybe others. :) I have AC97 sound. My sound glitch seems to have been caused by the video driver. (Yes that can happen)
However creative sound cards can be another horse. Which reminds me, to ask my son if he's updated his for his audigy. He usually does, but he lost sound in WOW. Possible a WOW patch doesn't like his drivers. He has sound everywhere else.But I'm not going there. He's a pretty good Computer tech in his own right.But right now he's baffled. So as you see not always EA Sim2 causing weird things to happen.
I am not awesome in technical matters, but I am a WoW player and I might be able to help with some son bribery here.
Has he tried messing with the "sound channels" slider under Audio Options? It was added recently, and it's been set wrong by default for quite a few people who have had to pull it towards the left side to get their sound working right again.

If all else fails, Blizzard's tech support is generally more useful than EAs and actually makes an effort to fix stuff. ::)

I emailed that right to him. Hope that's it. Thank you :)
However on another note, I'm right back to the drawing board with Sims2. It started crashing again, frequently. I even tried the boolprop shaders false at the neighborhood screen and that doesn't help either.
Damn game. Got to be the 6600 card and the Nvidia drivers Sims2 Season hate each other problem.
Graphics are great in the game thoguh, rotate quite nicely, just crashes frequently. Blah! Think I'll just see how long it lasts on the other machine with the FX5700 card and the old drivers.
