PhoenixRC on laptop

[Nightlore]

Hi

Is there anyone running PhoenixRC on a laptop?

My laptop is a Fujitsu Siemens AMILO Pro

its a Pentium M 1.6 GHz 400Fsb 2mb L2
512Mb of ram
Intel Extreme Graphics
80 Gb HDD
Windows XP Pro

I just want to know if it will run on my laptop. I can run reflex XTR but it will only run at 10 to 15 frames per second so its a bit jerky.

thanks

Brian

PS. if it will work i will be selling my Reflex XTR if anyone is intrested, i will sell it cheap...

From my experience Phoenix requires a bit more poke than Reflex

On my Lappy,Reflex and Phoenix run smooth and stable

Runs great on mine:

MacBook Pro
Intel Core Duo 2.16GHz
1 GB RAM
256mb ATI 1600

Best of all it a Mac so when not using the SIM I have a decent computer to work on

I think Mac's are the best, i want one, the only bit of mac i have got is a bluetooth mac mouse lol.

I have run it on my IBM T42 laptop (1.7 GHz Pentium M with ATI Radeon 7500 display driver) and it is jerky. It should work on your current laptop but I am not sure you will enjoy it.

Runs fine on mine but only up to 1024/768 resolution, anything beyond that and its slightly jerky.

Hi Thomas, with this configuration do you need to turn down some of the realism settings to get the sim to run smoothly, or can you turn the settings all the way up? Thanks

if its not at high it will at least run "well" even if not on high settings.

its probably worth noting that 1.03 is even more efficient.

Its got a decent gfx card in it the ATI card with that ram will eat sim and shouldnt struggle at all.
