          Phoenix doesn't really use a lot of the graphic card power imo as I'm running it in my aging thinlpad with ati x300 with only 64mb without any problems.

              Mine runs on a pretty standard Dell Inspiron 1720. Don't think its that high spec to be honest. Looks great when plugged into the 50" plasma though !!

                This is very subjective, but I found it seemed a bit 'wrong' on slower PCs.

                It 'worked' but the handling seemed worse than on faster ones.

                    It works on my 1.6gig core2 duo with geforce7300go graphics

                    The only problem is that it slows down alot online.

                    Any newish laptop with a decent graphics card should handle it, its not too resource hungry.

                        It will drop a few FPS during large (4+) multiplayer sessions on lower spec systems, but for the most part, medium-high settings should suffice. I'm running it on a low spec lappy at mo whilst my main rig is OS - it's more than flyable and still looks good!
