Try running it on your lappie with 512MB and a 1.7GHz single core. 1gig is about the minimum you really need. |
My lappy is
6 months old. I got it for astro purposes, and doesn't need to be a powerhouse for my needs. It
did come with 512Mb and was unusable. I spent about $60 on 2Bg and now it's great.
For crying out loud 1Gb of RAM is
$30!! The continuing 'belief' that RAM is expensive is incredible.
BTW my desktop is a different issue. Although already 'old' (a year I think) it was good at the time (E6600 C2D and 8800GTX video). I rebuild mine about once every 12-18 months for about $700 total outlay after selling off my old stuff on eBay
Coming up soon for me is probably a 9800GX2 and Q9550
I'm not a fan of SLI.
Almost home time
