You're past fine. Trust me. And your laptop seems pretty new...if it's pretty new, it SHOULD play with no problem.
Those requirements aren't nothing.
My computer is gonna wiz past that.

Thanks!!! I love ur sugar gliders by the way!!! their sooo cute!! i cant take my eyes off ur pic hes cuter then my cats
Re: My Laptop Secs Help - yummybunny - 16-12-2008 10:36 PM
Thanks!
They are so cute!
I had them in a hamster wheel yesterday...they hate it. They are very intelligent...they followed me around, then when I picked them up, they kept biting the wheel to get out. Their teeth is like a inch long!!!
Is it a new laptop?
Pretty new computers should be able to play it...you should be worried if it is pretty old or you got it for cheap. It looks like that one was a pretty good price tag.

I wonder if nvidia Geforce 8400M GS graphics card for my laptop is good enough?
Re: My Laptop Secs Help - yummybunny - 17-12-2008 12:01 AM
If it's newer, then yeah.
What it seems like, your computer just cannot be ancient.
Like computers made in 2004-now should be cool, as long as they don't have RAM below the needed RAM, they have enough HD space, and the graphics card is of a good age, maybe 4,5 years and younger.
I usually don't worry about the processor, games made for PC always usually play on the PC, as long as it has all the other needed stuff.

thanks I should not worry about it. It is only a year old so it should work.

My laptop is very new. It plays The sims 2 and some expansions, SPORE, and SimCity Societies (boooring) quite well.
These are my specs..:
AMD Turion X2 Dual-Core mobile RM-70 (2 CPUs) ~2.0GHz
1790MB RAM
ATI Radeon 3100 Graphics
893MB
I have no idea what any of this means, but I hope its good.
