Will PS run on my computer

[SC385]

i got a new laptop for school next year and i have been eyeing PS for a while and was wondering if it will run.
its a toshiba laptop
2.4Ghz P4
512MB RAM
32MB GeForce4 440 Go

and does anyone run PS on a similar system and if so what kind of visual setting did you have to use?

pretty sure the gfx card will keep it from running PS well, if at all.

:(
the sony site says the minimum requirements are 32mb but i have been reading on hear that most people are saying you need 64mb.

they should change the minimum requirements cause the game will run like shit if you go by those.

Grab an upgrade for the 3d card and you'll be pretty set. Another 512 stick of ram wouldn't hurt either and will run you around 100 bucks. You can get an ATI Radeon 9500pro for less than 200 on ebay (be sure to check feedback before buying :D ) and will run most next gen games quite nicely (HL 2, DE2 and Doom3). The Geforce FX cards may look nice for cheap but they're not great for gaming. It's too early for 256 ram, the cards aren't advanced enough to use it all. If you can really wait (or get a GF4 MX440 to hold you over for $50 :D ) I think around november early december some more revolutionary cards are going to surface.

Unless you've bought your laptop within the last 6 months, it'll not run Planetside. Most laptops only allow you to upgrade ram/hd space, not graphics cards. You're basically screwed.

see what you can get for it and buy yourself a nice brand new desktop :D

you can upgrade vid cards for laptops, but its uber expensive. I believe you can get one custom made ($$$$) for the laptop, but then you have to ship it to the laptop warehouse and get them to put in the card, unless you know what your doing of course, or else you will absolutley f-up your comp. Like I said, uber expensive
