I just got a new Sony vaio laptop. (VGN FZ 150E) and i installed san andreas on it. when i play, at some parts of the city, the game works good, and the graphics are fast, then i go to some other part of the city, the game becomes slow, it stutters, and its hard to play. why is this happening? i have a 128 Mb. graphics card, 2 GB ram, 2 GZH proccesor speed, i dont get it. look up my laptop on sony.com, the model number is on top. plz help other games like NFS underground do the same thing too.

Nothing to do with your question, but I noticed your name is in Russian, I"m Russian/Ukrainian and know Russian (pretty limited), is your name "General I'?

Your laptop is most likely using Intel's GMA x3100 graphics which is pretty slow for games when using the previous drivers. Try these:
1. Increase the shared memory for graphics. X3100 can share up to 256mb.
2. Install the latest XP driver. Download link is in the middle part of this article:

Vista driver could be out by this time.
