Dell Inspiron 1501 and Silent Hunter III?

AngusJS · 11-13-06, 11:15 AM

Hi,

I am about to receive a Dell Inspiron 1501 laptop as an early Christmas present. Here are the specs:

Processor: AMD Turion™ 64 Mobile Technology MK-36

1GB DDR2 SDRAM at 533MHz, 2 Dimm

ATI RADEON® Xpress1150 256MB HyperMemory™ (Integrated)

As far as I understand, the 3D card uses system memory.

Could this run Silent Hunter ok/well? Does anyone have any experience with these notebooks?

Thanks

:hmm: The reason why I never would go to notebooks or Dell systems, is that they arent really made for performance duty like playing games. they can do the job thought but not as good as a Desktop PC.

but first of all a Dell Notebook? have a fire extinguisher in hand reach

just in case

further all the specs seem to be fine by me,
I run it on a
2.8ghz
512 Ram
256 Nvidia Geforce FX5700LE (LE = Light Edition)

SH3 runs fine here, and with TGW the Supermod it runs ok as well

I think the 1 gig will help you run the game w/o issue. There is only one way to find out.....load'er up and see what happens.:p

thats the best way to find out, reading on the back of the Box doesnt help you get further like minimal = 512 ram, U= Omg...will it run on my 512 its just minimal and my vidcard isnt really the best...

Install - Test the best way
