WELL WE WOULD NEED TO KNOW WHAT GRAPHICS CARD YOU HAD before we could give you any real advice. If you arent sure, go to start -> run -> dxdiag for detailed info. A driver update almost always helps, also. Try going to the website (ati or nvidia) and check for updates.

you are thinking of rivatuner. go search it up. however, the only real thing you can do with it, is overclock your graphic chip. the 8200m is an integrated graphics chip, which means its built into your laptop's motherboard and shares main memory with the the CPU.

note of caution: overclocking will increase heat, decrease battery life, and decrease the lifespan of your laptop. do it improperly is a good way of killing your laptop. in fact, i'd suggest you do NOT overclock. practically all 7/8/9 series are flawed, and are more susceptible to heat fluctuation. overclocking will only make it worse.

Mortiz is right, overclocking a 8200M will do in your lappy in very little time. You might be able to inprove frame rates by turning off un-needed background tasks and lowering the in game settings. But I would NOT overclock it.

Exactly why do you need to make your graphics faster? What is your frame rater? Mine is like 20-30 and I find that playable.

Well if it's shared memory then you can add more RAM and share it with the GPU.
