Fearion · 03-10-2009, 02:44 AM

I am planning on getting a new laptop and most that I come by are "ATI Radeon HD 3200 Graphics RS780M with up to 1918MB total graphics memory" will this work decently for EQ2? Thanks for replys!!

Laptop Specs:

AMD Turion X2 RM-72 2.10Ghz Dual-Core Mobile Processor

Windows Vista Home Premium 64-bit with Service Pack 1

17.0" Diagonal WXGA+ High-Definition HP BrightView Widescreen Display (1440 x 900)

4096MB DDR2 677 System Memory

It should play the game, but it may not get the best performance. That laptop is using an integrated graphics chip and they can have trouble at times. The main problem is that when it says 'up to 1918MB total graphics memory', it's actually referring to the system RAM. That style of graphics card will actually use your computer's normal RAM for processing which can cause problems.
