netbook

has anyone played fm on a netbook and did it work ok? have a longish commute and they are quite cheap, wondering if it was possible and if so what netbook they got?

thanks

You'll need the special netbook skin, which can be found in the Skinning forum.

But several people play on them, and they seem to work fine.

thats awesome, if someone who does can reply and tell me what they use and how its done, illbe stoked, ill go buy one this week!

I'm running FM10 on a BenQ Joybook Lite U101W, which isn't exactly top of the range, even for a netbook. It can be a bit slow at times but I have all the Western European leagues plus Brazil and Argentina running, and I always have other programmes (Firefox/Word etc) on in the background.

Probably best to get a netbook with Windows XP rather than 7 as XP uses less RAM.

You'll have to run FM in windowed mode, otherwise it won't open at all. Just right click->Properties on the shortcut tab and change the target to "C:\Program Files\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 2010\fm.exe" --small_screen --windowed

And as the previous poster said, get michaelmurrayth's netbook skin.

Yup...I'm also playing FM on Lenovo 10-2.

is 1gb of ram enough, as see some of the newer ones have 2gb?

Yeah it should be fine...I'm using a Samsung Nc10 and it has 1gb ram, got the top european leagues loaded and the game is perfect:D

I also use a Samsung NC10 with 2gb of ram and to be honest it runs it quicker than my PC.

hi,ive cut and pasted C:\Program Files\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 2010\fm.exe" --small_screen --windowed into the target box of properties and it says path isnt valid! ive also downloaded netbook skin and downloaded to skins folder!! can you please help!!
