Help with GP4 graphics!!!

I just purchased a new copy of Geoff Crammonds Grand Prix 4. I have just recenty bought a new laptop with specifications:
2ghz Intel Celeron Processor
256mb DDR Ram
20Gb HDD
SiS650 32mb Integrated Graphics card.

When i looked at the recommended requirements for GP4, i saw my spec. doesnt just meet the requirements, in most cases it is double what was required.

I installed the game, and calibrated the graphics, but to my amazement the game ran incredibly slow. I went into the graphics options section, and turned every detail off, or on to the lowest setting, and ran it at the lowest resolution. To my astonishment, and extreme disappointment, the game still ran very slow and jerky. I read the readme file, and there arent any conflicts with any of my devices. Has anyone got any solutions to why its so slow, and any ways to fix it?????

same here.

IMHO your video card does not have enough speed/memory to run GP4 well.

Sorry to bring you bad news.

it pays to do your research *before* you part with your money.

you are now stuck with a laptop with basically crap graphics, and no upgrade path.
