The laptop I own is an HP Compaq nw8240 (circa 2006). It has an ATI MOBILITY FireGL V5000 graphics controller with 128 MB of video memory. My desktop has an ATI video card of similar vintage.
Last year AMD decided to cease supporting those video cards.
Consequently I decided to not support AMD, please tell me if I have the wrong attitude.
