Recently I started a new job that will take me away throughout the week from home (I am sleeping in hotels and alike).<p>Now things are getting back to normal again (new jobs can make live very hecktic <img src="/smilies/69934afc394145350659cd7add244ca9.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />), I want to play in the evening Everquest again. So I am considering to buy a notebook.</p><p>Most notebooks I see have Windows Vista Home Premium with 2 or 3gb memory. I think that is alright.</p><p>But I am wondering about the videocard. Most affordable notebooks haven a nVidia 8400 or a Ati X2300 card. Are these good enough to play Everquest II?I don't need super graphics, I just want to play.Maybe to compare with: I have a Radeon X1300 Pro 256Mb and with the performance of that card I am very happy (only during raids I have to switch to balanced performance and as I don't raid that often, that is very okay for me).</p><p>Any advice or suggestion would be very welcome.</p><p>Thanks,</p><p>Femke.</p>

Be wary that the EQ2 client does not officially support any 'mobility' chipset. If you get one of those monstrous desktops in disguise notebooks that have a full non mobility graphics card and such on it you might be ok.I tried to run EQ2 on an ATI mobility chipset before and it would constantly crash the GPU.
