Dell finally had to replace my lappy with a XPS M1530 with the same video card (Vista os). Now that MTU has Hoster running stable on Vista I have had NO PROBLEMS.

They can upgrade to NVidea.
How much RAM did you have installed on the Inspiron 15? Just curious.

In the customize section you could have selected the 256MB ATI Radeon HD4330 which would have been better than the Intel.
I hope you added memory as Jim said, especially if it has Vista.
Be sure before you install Hoster to go through all the recommended changes/fixes for Vista.

I have a DELL with integrated video and only 1 GB shared RAM, but don't have any problems. I disable just about everything I don't need and keep the video and color resolution fairly low. Now this is a desktop, not a notebook, so things mey run differently under the hood. That said, MTU has just shipped me a notebook PC that I will start using going forward.

Best decision you could have made. Well worth the extra performance gain.
