I have recently started playing The Witcher, but started suffering from "choppy graphics" which I could only get rid of by lowering my resolution to 800 x 600 and using the minimum settings.

The laptop I am using (Lenovo ThinkPad T60p) has the following specs (of importance):

Inte Dual Core @ 2.33GHz
2GB RAM (No overclocking advice please. I don't want Bloodlines (which I play often) to give me grief.)
ATI MOBILITY FireGL V5250

Running it on Windows XP Professional Edition, with Service Pack 3 and currently have over 40GB of free space.

I read the "Load Times" thread which was recently made here, but I am unsure if the advice provided there would help me. I have no problem with the load times after I put the setting at minimum, just wondering why I have to play it so low and if there are anyways to improve them while still retaining the game as "playable" and fast.

I have my suspicions as to what the problem may be, but it'd be nice to experience the game with more of its' graphical prowess apparent.

Well, you could try increasing the textures to medium, but other than that, I'd advise leaving everything else at the bare minimum. I played it on a Geforce 6600 a while ago before I upgraded my computer and it is still playable at that setting.
