So... a friend, after I told him that I just got a new laptop and wanted F.E.A.R.
He said "Good luck running it on a laptop..."

and I told him my specs...

Intel Core duo 2.0Ghz
NVidia GO 7900
2 GB 677 RAM
.......

Now, i don't know EVERYTHING about computers... in fact, not much compared to many of you BF2Sers... but I'm pretty sure that's plenty good enough to run F.E.A.R....
Am I wrong? Is there something I don't know or don't get?
And.... what about Company Of Heroes?

yea youll be able to run fear

laptops of course arent exact equivalents of desktop counterparts, but they still can do pretty well. You friend is just underestimating it... or just jealous ;p

thanks buddy...

When I bought it, i first thought about college, and a nice multimedia laptop that i could use for music too, as I produce some Hip-Hop stuff... but you know... since my parents were helping me with paying for it... I took some "gaming liberties" that I hoped would let me play the games that come out for the next little while... not necessarily on high settings... So i was freaked when he told me it wouldn't run...

anyway... thanks

To my knowledge, there is not yet a game out there yet that utilizes DX10.

FEAR? DX10? Of course not. In fact it has a DX8 render mode if I remember right.

FSX. But doesn't include the DX10 render path, that'll come later in a patch. Not that you could run any DX10 games at the moment, because they're are no G80 drivers for Vista.

You'll run F.E.A.R easy on that. I'm pretty sure your laptop's a bit better, (graphics card & processor,) then my PC and I can run F.E.A.R with everything on full. If you havn't alread got one, get a decent sound system though 'cause F.E.A.R needs great sound to fully illustate the creepyness of it.
