How good a GFX card...

[Disc]

Guys,

Being given a PC Laptop (thats right Given a FREE one)

Now it has USB and CD-Drive so it has to be at least a P3 I recon.

How good a GFX card does this sim really need with gfx settings on low?

would one of these naff 64 meg shared memory cards be okay?

Worse case i'll buy a diffrent Sim or format the HD and install OSX onto it.
(and yes it is possible with the right stuff)

I doubt it...ive got an ATI Radeon 9000 64mb graphics card at it wont run on that....but worth a try as you never know!

Blimey thats the same lines as the mx 440 by nvidia.....hmm me thinks you will struggle too.

Um... I run it at 1280x1024 with no probs on an Nvdia mx420, silky smooth with 1gb Rdram and only a 2.0ghz P4

I'm interested in this as well.

My work laptop is a bog-standard Compaq n1015v with 756mb RAM. I know nothing at all about graphics cards, processor speeds etc, but would buy a Sim tomorrow if I could be confident that it will run ok on this machine.

Any expert advice would be appreciated.

Is that the AMD processor version?

My laptop is about 3 years old.
Phoenix runs great on it at a resolution of 1400x1050.

I think if you have at least a 1GHz processor with 512MB RAM, a reasonable Graphics card, phoenix will run just fine!

Hope this helps,

Disc....don't bin it....I have a wealth of spares that I could donate that might just get it to run.
