Be sure you have the latest driver updates, and run GTA SA all on low. There are some "mods" that remove certain particles that may cause lag, you could try that.
I think I have the same graphics card in my laptop, and it barely runs GTA SA (even with everything on low) at 20-30 FPS, so I suggest trying to trade the laptop in for another one.

It seems to be plaguing the laptop market in the last half decade or so. Hard drives and ram are cheap now days, so often the video hardware doesn't even match the caliber of the other components. Laptops are expensive if you want a nice video card in them.

Re: Graphics help - KushReliC - 11-24-2010
dont get it .. you can have integrated gfx and a graphics card on a PC but not on a laptop? :s
Re: Graphics help - Rien - 11-24-2010
because laptops are small, they don't have room for a video card.
Re: Graphics help - KushReliC - 11-24-2010
