Ahoy Bubblehead,
I've got a ASUS laptop and since it's not in front of me I can't list the exact specs, what I can tell you is my card was supposedly not supported but I tried it anyway. I had bought the computer for the same reasons.
Well, it worked fine. I can't remember if I needed any adjustments but this computer is running the game pretty good. Power wise you should have no problems, but you may need to change drivers, or settings for the card or using the old compatibility mode or something else simple like that may do the trick.
Point is, if they say not supported, try it anyway, it's probably going to work if it gets beyond the startup screen.
Good Luck my friend and Good Hunting.

Hey!!
I've got a intel i5 M520 CPU
4 GB RAM
and a Nvidia Geforce GT 330M and the game runs like a charm in full resolution!!
So I suggest something as close as possible to these specs

I'm trying to run SH4 on a MacPro Laptop (Bootstrap), i7, M620, 8 GB ram. I also have the integrated Nvidia Geforce GT 330M. Game runs for about 30 min and occasionally crashes. I suspect overheating but don't know for sure. What settings (NVidia Control Panel) are you using?

Jl, do a defrag and clean your computer case if you haven't lately. If you have then I suggest getting an H-60 water cooling setup. If you have a CompUSA near by get one from there. We have one her in New Casltle, DE and it's where I got mine from. Works great and will definately keep your processor cool. That and the Cool Master HaAF922 case I have do wonders for cooling.

Thx GT182. I got the game to run on Mac OS using a Wineskin wrapper last night (no Bootstrap) and it ran fine. No acceleration of the cooling fan or excessive heat! What a surprise! I'm a novice wrt to hardware so can't explain. However, I could not run with a popular mod, 3000 yd bearing tool, as game crashed when zooming in on Nav map. Author of mod said it was memory intensive. Appreciate ur thoughts on this.
