<p>i was wondering if it is possible to run eq2 onthis notebook, with high perfomance setting of course. actually i did try but the application everquest2.exe crashes right after launching.</p><p>i was wondering if it was because i have only 1ghz or something else unrelated to the notebook.</p><p>As anyone tried playing eq2 on a notebook ?</p>

<p>We do have a good handful of people all with open issues with that processor so I'll try to get as much movement on it as I can.</p>

<p>I've personally owned this notebook.  I wouldn't recomend running EQ2 on it, as the processor and the graphics chip run off the same ghz processor, even at the lowest settings possible, I have serious doubts it will run.  You get shuttering in youtube at full screen.Even upgrading to the C-60 processor, which would in tern jump the video quite a bit and allow more ram, I doubt you'd be able to run it.  It just doesn't have the power behind the system because the same ghz proc is running both the graphics and the video.  Unlike most laptops where the video is taken care of by the northbridge or the dedicated graphics chip, there is none on the C series line of chips.If you want a laptop to run it on, I bought a simple Acer 15" from Wal-Mart, ripped out the single core proc 1.2ghz proc and put in a 3.0ghz dual core and went from 1gb of ram to 8gb.  The laptop was 120 bucks after tax and the processor was 65 including shipping, ram was 30 bucks.  I now have a 500 dollar notebook that cost me about 200 bucks and 20 min of screwdriver work.</p>

<p>thk for the info. and to add to your post , i must precise the aspire one 722 has an ati graphic card. a</p><table summary="données détaillée de l'article"><tbody><tr><th scope="row"></th> <td><p><span> ATI Radeon HD 6250, it is not a big one sure, but it is suppose to take care of the graphic part. So sure the frame rate won't be high , but i'll like to see if it s playable. wow is playable (i know not the same graphics), so why not eq2 in lowest setting.</span></p></td></tr></tbody></table>
