NMac1994 Posted August 5, 2009 Share Posted August 5, 2009 Hey, do you know if FM09 will run on a netbook with a Dell Mini 10 with an Intel® Atom™ Processor Z530 (1.60GHz, 533MHz), Genuine Windows® XP Home, 10.1” HD 16:9 Screen (1366 x 768) screen, 1024MB 533MHz Dual Channel DDR2 SDRAM, 160GB (5,400rpm) SATA Hard Drive and Integrated Intel® Graphic Media Accelerator? Many thanks! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NMac1994 Posted August 5, 2009 Author Share Posted August 5, 2009 Anyone know? Don't tell me to d/l the demo as I have not got this PC yet. If not, could you reccomend a 10 inch netbook that would? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrazT Posted August 5, 2009 Share Posted August 5, 2009 FM2009 was not tested on any mini computers so is not supported by SI- there are some minis that will run the game but the limitations of the processor and graphics do limit the performance Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neji Posted August 5, 2009 Share Posted August 5, 2009 It should run as it meets the system requirements but I wouldn't be confident it will run well. Also, I'm not sure if you will get 3D with that GPU. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assume it's about money and/or portability issues. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShirazS Posted August 5, 2009 Share Posted August 5, 2009 I want to get a netbook for FM but do not use the 3D at all. What type of graphics card would the netbook require if any? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NMac1994 Posted August 5, 2009 Author Share Posted August 5, 2009 OK thanks for the response, but no one seems certain, anyone who has a similar spec PC know for sure if it runs and if it does 3D? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SucksAtFM Posted August 5, 2009 Share Posted August 5, 2009 Try doing a search on the forums. I am sure I remember seeing a thread about someone running it on a netbook. I think there is something you have to download to sort the screen resolution out or something like that Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rnickster Posted August 6, 2009 Share Posted August 6, 2009 Yes you need to download AsTray so the netbook can run the minimum resoltion. Run asTray then set it at 1024x768 and you can start FM09, I have an acer aspire one with 1.5gb ram and I can run 3D although its a bit choppy so I just use commentary but the overall speed of the game is surprisingly fast considering the spec of the machine edit* just noticed your screen has the minimum res so no need for asTray i wouldnt think.
