It is set at 75 and the graphics card is intel 82810-DC100 graphics
controller 3.0 and when I looked at downloading the latest drivers from the
ihtel site this is what it said:

"Indicates IntelοΏ½ Chipsets that do not have integrated graphics. Please
contact your graphics card or system manufacturer to obtain the correct
graphics drivers for your system"

It is Gateway system about 2.5 years old.
