3D views choppy

[Katalyst777]

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.

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.
