(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!

Starforce and Vista sounds like huuuuuuuuge trouble. Ayayayay.... Sorry i'm not gonna get myself started on both. Comiserations matey. Welcome to the forum though.

:cry: Oh man, I am off to a great start... oh well, I lived without SH3, and I am sure I will survive... 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:

P.s. I use a laptop.

Starforce the blight of many a gamer i wont state my own feelings about it but your laptop should run sh3 i used to run sh3 on a older laptop than yours and it ran just fine have faith.:up: :up:

Thanks guys, I appreciate your input. I think I will give it a shot, and hope for the best. I will wait a few days in any case, and see if any more info comes along here.

No worrys and happy hunting:up:

I'm just wondering, how well shared memory for video will play for the game?

My advice go buy a semi decent video card mate:up: sahred memory well:down:
