Hey guys,

Did some research before I asked this.

I use an alu UMB, running 2GB ram. Whenever I play any graphics intensive games (COD4, WaW) using Bootcamp, the whole com either freezes over, or I get the Blue Screen of Death.

While I've read of issues about faulty 9400m GPUs, I'm not too sure whether is it a faulty chip.

Also did the driver update (via laptopvideo2go) but that didn't help much either.

Was wondering if an upgrade to 4GB will help? Anyone has experience with this with a pre- and post-upgrade?

I don't want to send the com to the reseller to check whether it is a faulty chip or not, as I use it for work so I don't want it tied up for a week (I live in Malaysia and our third world customer service is not that great)
