(Perhaps) future Newbie!

Hello, I just recently bought a new notebook that comes with Vista Home Premium. Based on what I read in the forums here, it looks like it may work. My next question, will it work with the new set up? Here are the specs:

AMD Turion™ 64 X2 mobile technology TL-56 at 1.8GHz
2GB RAM
120GB HD
NVIDIA GeForce Go 6150 (UMA)with up to 288MB shared video memory

I am what is probably considered a very casual gamer, but every once in a while I like firing up a game or two, this one I've wanting to play for quite a while. The other thing that worries me is Starforce, I see so many conflicting versions, I really don't know what to believe or do, but I guess first things first, since I am not even sure it will run on my laptop. :)

Thanks!

Don't give up matey! It's just my personal aversion to Starforce and Vista.:up: It should work with your setup.

Several people play SH3 on laptops, and have no problems, and yours looks pretty impressive to me; but on the other hand I don't have one and I don't know what their positions are concerning SF.

Don't get to down - or up - until some of them chime in. I'm sure within a day or so you'll have more information than you can handle.:lol:
