Just checked VRAM - it's set at 512MB. I think that should be sufficient for OE?
I also noticed, while poking around in the BIOS, that I had a fan setting of "Ultra silent" or something similar - basically slowest possible. I've now set that back to "normal". I can hear the fan going faster and the GPU now runs at closer to 70 degrees. After a quick test, things seem to be OK - no stuttering!
I can't find a limit published for the ION chip but it seems that above 90 degrees causes issues.
I've been wrestling with this problem for a few months now so I'm not going to say I've solved it yet but I'm moderately optimistic...
I'll report back and thanks for your help.
