Why not?


I plug a 24" monitor in the side and it runs sweet on IL2.

I am begining to realise that there are a metric shitload of naysayers in this forum and that maybe I should steer clear.

Anyway,are these specs THAT bad?

Win 7 32bit
i7 CPU M 620 @ 2.67GHz
4.00 GB RAM
NVIDIA GeForce GT 330M 1GB
2296 MB Total available graphics memory

Oh, I didn't mean it to sound like that. My personal experience with laptops is that they can't compete with desktops with similar specs and if top end desktop machines are struggling with this, I figure there's little hope for a laptop. Maybe mobile graphics solutions have progressed a great deal and there's less of a divide than in the past. As for IL-2, I should hope it would run since the game is pretty old now.

@ Doc_UK: Running DSC-A10 and FSX on laptop is pretty impressive, I must say. Mind if I ask system specs/game settings/fps? I'm just curious to learn. Thinking of maybe trying to put together a gaming laptop, but have resisted in the past since I wasn't confident about running the games I like with enough detail to satisfy me and I already have a Macbook Pro (awful for gaming).

Had the same problem as well as AVG informing me of a virus as part of the loader!
The game ran but the planes and pilots were not displayed and when I ran a mission it would just show the last screen but give me sound.
After an hour of fun i got everything working and thats how it stayed until tonight.
This morning I allowed AVG to pass the software and all ran OK. Tonight I was back to problems, the video driver was reportin that it had crashed under starting the game, a blank screen just before the epi splash screen. I loaded the latest driver as well as the beta driver, still no luck
I then left it alone to try for an answer on the net only to suddenly think the only thing I had not done was disable the antivirus.
I tried this and it worked
Every thing has now slowed though so I'm going to roll the driver back too see if I can get back to a flyable rig
Fingers crossed as it is a stunning game
Thanks to every one involved in this venture and my wishes to the few who did this for real

That should be ok to run cod, not high settings but mid range setting
As for dsc a10 and fxs ive taking them of to concentrate on this game lol
Bad mistake that was
But dcs A10-c i was running, not maxed, but it was petty impressive
Fsx, was the same not max, but good enough for m8's to go wow at....
you should try gaming laptop, you might just be impressed
