Thank you for reading.

Taylor If you post the specifications, that would be very helpful. My offhand guess is that you will be able to use it. _____________________

I run on a Dell laptop with similar specs (2.26 GHz processor instead of 2, 1GB RAM instead of 2, ATI Video w/128MB instead of NVIDIA w/256). Seems to run fine. The extra RAM (both mainboard and video) on that machine should make it run as well or better than on mine. Non-crowded sims I usually maintain a low- to mid- 20's FPS, 12-15 in a busy club, for example (via 1.5 mbps DSL).
