Not sure if this is the right newgroup but: I have recently bought a laptop with 1.9ghz Dual Core processor and ATI Radeon X1200 graphics card. How likely is it I could run a '3d intensive' game on this laptop? e.g. Enemy Territory requires a 2.8ghz processor and ATI gfx. Will a dual core 1.9 processor still be able to run this? Thanks, Steve.

Your problem instead is compatibility with you grapgics card and operating system. For example if you have XP installed, game should run with no problems. Having vista might be cose of many problems. If you have Vista instaled make shoure you have all newest drivers for yours hardware and SP1.
The graphic card doesnât seem that bad, but the processor doesn't seem strong enough and you might end up playing the game with hic-cups consider thinking about lowering the resolution to accomadate "FBxiii" wrote in message news:59335AAE-E0A0-4BBC-8AE1-80FBFF7BA59A@microsoft.com... > Not sure if this is the right newgroup but: > > I have recently bought a laptop with 1.9ghz Dual Core processor and ATI > Radeon X1200 graphics card. > > How likely is it I could run a '3d intensive' game on this laptop? > > e.g. Enemy Territory requires a 2.8ghz processor and ATI gfx.
