Can anyone comment on functionality of Second life on the new Dell notebooks (XPS M1210)? I am thinking about buying a Dell notebook and I do not want to loose the chance to play Second Life on it.
The new Dell Series of XPS M12 has this spec:
Intel® Core™ 2 Duo T5600 (1.83GHz, 2MB L2 Cache, 667 MHz FSB)
256MB NVIDIA® GeForce™ Go 7400 TurboCache
2GB Dual Shared Channel DDR2 SDRAM at 667MHz
Vista Home Premium
I will appriciate any comment about this notebook and the pusibillity of following problem on this notebook.

SL (and most modern games) run smoother with a video chipset that has its own dedicated RAM. I think this notebook will run SL, but I'd be surprised if it ran smoothly. There are notebooks that have dedicated video RAM, but I'd guess they would be equipped with at least a GeForce Go 7600 chipset, which of course would be more expensive. |

I agree with Teeny. Everything looks good.
My girlfriend runs Secondlife on a even lower type Dell Inspirion Laptop. about 9 months old.
Runs pretty well untill 8 to 10 people are on. Her settings on Secondlife are on Medium. Medium everything without AA enabled... so, i think it will run just fine.
