Chuganugs Posted August 16, 2008 Share Posted August 16, 2008 Does anybody here on the forum play the game on a Dell Inspiron 1525. Im thinking of buying one but i am unsure weather it will run it smoothly as it has a Intel Integrated Graphics Media Accelerator X3100 for a graphics card? Any help will be appreciated. Here are the specs for the laptop im thinking of getting. Base: Intel® Core™ 2 Duo Processor T5550 (1.83 GHz, 667 MHz FSB, 2 MB L2 cache) Graphics card: Integrated Intel® Graphic Media Accelerator X3100 Hard Drive: 160GB (5400RPM) SATA Hard Drive Memory: 2048MB 667MHz Dual Channel DDR2 SDRAM [2x1024] Thanks in advance Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ftg87 Posted August 16, 2008 Share Posted August 16, 2008 That will be fine mate, I run FM08 on a computer half as powerful as that with onboard graphics and it runs well, should fly on that compared to mine lol Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
x42bn6 Posted August 16, 2008 Share Posted August 16, 2008 That's overkill for most purposes. I'm not sure how many leagues it would be able to run with reasonable speed, but I suspect the major European Leagues, to their lowest levels, would run smoothly. But by the way, try and get a faster hard drive, as it makes a huge difference for a lot of things, not just Football Manager. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuganugs Posted August 16, 2008 Author Share Posted August 16, 2008 Thanks for the replys lads, im just worried about the graphics card. The graphics card is ****, but will it affect Footy Manager much as it isnt a graphic related game and im sure it wont affect it will it? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rinso Posted August 16, 2008 Share Posted August 16, 2008 shouldnt affect it at all i dont think... and the rest of it should run pdq from the look of that Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arkim Posted August 16, 2008 Share Posted August 16, 2008 The graphics card won't affect your performance at all, not in an amount that you will notice significant slow down anyway. You will be perfectly fine with that setup and you have nothing to worry about. You can easily run a great number of leagues with no slow downs.

pelicanstuff Posted August 16, 2008 Share Posted August 16, 2008 FM will run fine on even integrated graphics, the card isn't important at all. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
djhayes383 Posted August 16, 2008 Share Posted August 16, 2008 Yeah pelicanstuff is right, FM has almost no graphical requirements, it is the ultimate game for playing on a laptop, especially a nice fast one like yours. Graphics are so unimportant in running FM that a graphics requirement isn't even displayed on the back of the box. Doesn't take much to run a bunch of menus and a simple 2d match engine.
