Will PS run on my new laptop ok?


Hi guys

I have recently bought a new laptop and was wondering if you could advise if Planetside will run on it without problems...

My system spec:

Win XP Pro
120 GB 7200 RPM HDD
1GB RAM DDR266/PC2100
128 GFORCE FX GO5600
Intel Pentium 4 3.06 GHz Hyper-Threading Technology
1MB BroadBand

I will be running the laptop using the power lead so the performance decrease due to running of the batteries shouldnt affect it, but what sort of performance should I be expecting...

I am currently d/l the 30 day free trial software and am going to try this when I get home, but wanted something to gauge how good I should be expecting the game to run...

Thanks for any replys

yeah you'll get a decen amount of FPS on that with med settings.

Yeah laptops have troubles with PS if they do speedstepping(cheat prevention), so playing with the battery is not advised.

Up to an hour and a half battery depending on what your doing ....

But I got it mainly as a desktop replacement and not for portability so doesnt really matter

Is it a centrino laptop? We just got a few clients new desktop replacements similar to yours, with the big 15.5" LCDs, and they are able to easily get 8 hours on a battery, and the laptop is not that heavy either. Centrino is actually a damn nice technology... It lets the bios actually turn off almost any component that is not in use and then turn it back on instantly without reboots and such.

Turning off things like your trackpad/bugger mouse, network card, modem, CDROM, etc all adds up to a pretty big power savings.

I am running a pretty old laptop: P3M 850, 256 megs of ram, crap video, 40 gig HD, no internal ethernet/modem/wifi. But they did buy me two new batteries for it, so I get almost 10 hours of battery life on it.

Its a pentium 4 laptop

Centrino do give longer life battery, but nowhere near the performance

And it has nothing integrated and a 17" display

1 + 1/2 hours is a lot for a battery when you consider what this thing has running in it
