Seb Spiers Posted May 27, 2010 Share Posted May 27, 2010 I'm thinking of purchasing a netbook tonight, being able to play FM when away would be great. Will this spec be up to much? what do you think? I'll upgrade the ram to 2GB pretty much immediately, and I'm not expecting to run anything more than a small db with maybe the premier league and championship at any one time. Inspiron Mini 1012 Intel® Atom™ N450 Single Core Processor (1.66GHz, 667MHz FSB, 512K L2 Cache) 10.1" HD TrueLife Widescreen Display (1366 x 768) 1024MB 800MHz Single Channel DDR2 SDRAM [1x1024] 250GB (5,400rpm) Serial ATA Hard Drive Integrated 1.3MP Camera Primary 6-cell 56 WHr Lithium Ion battery (White) Dell Wireless 1397 Mini Card (802.11 b/g) Integrated Intel® NM10 Express Graphics Dell Wireless 365 Bluetooth Module - European Mini 1012 Netbook with WLAN Antenna and 3G Mobile Broadband I'm only spending £300 on it, if anyone can find anything better for £300 (12" screen or less) I would be very much interested. Any advice is much appreciated. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MagnumPI Posted May 27, 2010 Share Posted May 27, 2010 These are the minimum specs for the game - PC OS - Windows XP/Vista/Windows7 Processor - XP - 1.4ghz or faster Vista/W7 - 2.0hgz or faster Memory - XP-512MB Ram, Vista/W7 - 1GB Ram Video Card - 128MB minimum. Nvidia FX 5900 Ultra or greater; ATI Radeon 9800 or greater; Intel 82915G/82910GL or greater. Earlier cards may only display 2D Match Viewer Mode and are not supported. Laptop versions of these chipsets may work but are not supported. Mac Intel Processor, OS X 10.5, NVidia Geforce 7300 GT / ATI X1600 Radeon Your one does qualify on the minimum spec but I think you might struggle if you run 3d.

Seb Spiers Posted May 27, 2010 Author Share Posted May 27, 2010 I don't care massively about the 3d match engine. I couldn't find the system requirements. Thanks for that! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
magicmastermind124 Posted May 27, 2010 Share Posted May 27, 2010 I'd also double check that the netbook is running Windows XP or later, as many of them run on linux. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seb Spiers Posted May 27, 2010 Author Share Posted May 27, 2010 It comes with Windows 7 Starter but I'll reload it with either Windows 7 Enterprise or perhaps Windows XP Pro. I haven't quite decided yet. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
manlykill Posted May 29, 2010 Share Posted May 29, 2010 My N130 came with 7 Starter, i put on Win 7 Ultimate and disabled all uneccesary service and some other tweaks you can find on VistaVG site. I use the netbook skin found on here, running one nation is the best, England down to league 2.... and no 3d as its jerky with my intel GMA950. I plan to upgrade to 2GB soon to see if i can run more leagues. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
