Forbsie Posted October 22, 2009 Share Posted October 22, 2009 just wondered if fm10 will work on my wee brothers laptop asus celeron 330 1.2g 160g 540r sata ddr2 800 1g regards Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SWaRFeGa Posted October 22, 2009 Share Posted October 22, 2009 Just. I think. Depends how detailed you like your games to be. 1GB of memory isn't so much these days. Processor doesn't seem too hot either. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevie_G_32201 Posted October 22, 2009 Share Posted October 22, 2009 very slow, if at all in my opinion. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forbsie Posted October 22, 2009 Author Share Posted October 22, 2009 maybe he should upgrade then i think eh Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cynet Posted October 22, 2009 Share Posted October 22, 2009 Very low grade system and you will have problems tbh but the answer to your question is yes but make sure you have updated graphics and direct x and to be on the safe side download the demo.

FrazT Posted October 22, 2009 Share Posted October 22, 2009 It is unlikel;y to work as the processor is well below spec and the graphics card is unlikely to be powerful enough-so I say no to this one. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blanchflower1 Posted October 22, 2009 Share Posted October 22, 2009 This iss unlikely to work and even if it does, the game will run very slowly. I would advise you to purchase a new laptop if you have the money! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forbsie Posted October 22, 2009 Author Share Posted October 22, 2009 cheers lads. ok another question about my own pc the demo works ok, but 3d a little jerky and sore on the eyes. i have nvide ge force 7050. was going to replace it with following card but wanted to know if it will make much difference thanks in advance xfx ati radeon hd4650 1gb dd22 silent fanless Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevie_G_32201 Posted October 22, 2009 Share Posted October 22, 2009 in general integrated are not too good. you should be looking to upgrade to a dedicated card will make things much smoother. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forbsie Posted October 22, 2009 Author Share Posted October 22, 2009 so stevie will the one i stated above make much of a difference mate ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevie_G_32201 Posted October 22, 2009 Share Posted October 22, 2009 will be an improvement over integrated yes it will. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cynet Posted October 22, 2009 Share Posted October 22, 2009 Intergrated graphics share your ram and that takes a huge amount of it, so makes your pc run slower and the 7050 is a massive improvement over the intergrated one, just remember to get the latest drivers for the 7050 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

cynet Posted October 22, 2009 Share Posted October 22, 2009 On the topic of laptops to run FM10 (and 3D match engine!) smoothly, does anyone have any recommendations around the £600-£700 mark? The only thing i'd use it for is FM, music, films and internet, so good built in speakers would also be welcome!Thanks in advance if anyone can help out. I've been looking aroud the internet, seen a few promising looking SONY laptops, but a mate of mine bought a brand new £500 laptop the other day and the speakers are shockingly poor. My ancient laptop has great built in speakers, so I don't know how brand new laptops can get away with such poor quality - I am there fore delaying buying a new one! http://www.play.com/PC/PCs/-/654/861/-/12050110/Sony-VAIO-NW20-ZF-S-Core-2-Duo-T6600-2-2GHz-4GB-320GB-DVD-SM-15-5-Windows-7-Home-Premium-64bit-Laptop-Notebook-Silver/Product.html?searchtype=genre Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forbsie Posted October 26, 2009 Author Share Posted October 26, 2009 spotted this graphic card http://www.3000rpm.com/acatalog/ASUS_512MB_RADEON_HD_4670_PCI-E_2.0_HDMI.html was told it was good for £52 but want to know from you guys if it will make the match engine less jerky, i currently have just onboard graphics on my pc Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevie_G_32201 Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 thats 512mb graphics. fm only requires 128m so yes it will be better tha onboard graphics and exceeds the minimum of 128 for fm. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forbsie Posted October 26, 2009 Author Share Posted October 26, 2009 thanks stevie, but will the match 3d engine run smoothly and not jerky?? thanks in advance Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevie_G_32201 Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 as it exceeds the requirements i would of thought so. mine is the ati radeon hd 3470 granted i only played a few games on this laptop before un-installing 09 waiting for 2010 but i noticed nothing that made me take notice ifthat makes sense.

Wee Aja Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 howard moon in thinly-veiled "look how good my laptop is" post Yes it'll be fine. Have you tried the demo? Doubt you'll have any problem whatsoever. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
