3D views choppy

Thank you both for the reply, but I fail to see why the FIRST laptop I purchased, the one with the separate Nvidia graphics card with 2GB of RAM ALSO failed to produce smooth scrolling in 3D views. The original PC I tried this on was a Toshiba Satellite C655D-S5518. It has a Radeon graphics engine on the motherboard, not a separate video card. The Toshiba specs for that laptop state it has "384MB-1459MB dynamically allocated shared graphics memory". In other words it shares the system RAM. And it functioned flawlessly.
I still think there must be a compatibility issue with the Intel graphics on the motherboard which I currently have.

Don't really have enough information on that system to comment. Are you sure the NVidia was the only video on that computer?

Some laptops have both an integrated chipset, which is used when the laptop isn't plugged in (to conserve battery life), and an actual video card which is used when it's plugged in.
