I was afraid the shared memory might be at the root of the problem. Turning off 3d acceleration in the game solves the jerkiness issue but the game loses its visual appeal as the balls slide rather than roll. This chipset actually lost a decimal point or two off the graphics index when I updated the video driver. It's beginning to look like an add-in graphics card will have to be the solution to the issue.
Thanks.

The E Machines site (H5270) shows
NVIDIA® GeForce® 6100 integrated graphics
Up to 128MB of shared video memory (Believe this may be part of the problem)
PCI Express (x8) slot available for upgrade
Most "integrated" video systems are not really "optimized" for gaming.
You may be able to look at the running services, and temporarily disable those that are not needed as a means to improve things a bit. I currently have an HP laptop running Vista ultimate, that uses an Nvidia chpset and a 1.5ghz intel dual processor. It's win score is ~ 4.5. It was much lower (3.4) with the older video driver versions. The graphics preformance is just enough to be able to play Crysis in low end mode. This is more or less equal to an older desktop running XP with a 2ghz single core mobile processor, and 133mhz memory buss speed. On the older (AGP) system, the graphics card is a fairly high end Nvidia card for an AGP card.

The game is playable but the motion becomes quite jerky whenever the on screen action becomes more intense. Also the mouse leaves droppings when Zuma's custom cursors option is enabled. The processor is a 2700Mhz Athlon and the graphics chipset is years newer than the ATI card in the PC this one replaces.
Has anyone else experienced these symptoms with Zuma? Is there a way to fix this or am I seeing an incompatibility problem between this game and something in hardware?
