Project Reality Forums

hey, i have battlefield 2 already instaled on my laptop and that runs smoothly with no hitches. I realy want to try project reality on my laptop. here is my specs:

OS= window vista basic
System model=DIXONSXP
BIOS= BIOS version: 1.00DIX
Processor= intel(R) celeron(R) CPU 530 @ 1.73GHz
RAM= 1014MB
DirectX version = 10
Graphics card= Mobile intel(R) 965 express chipset family

P.S will getting a RAM upgrade from 1014MB to 2000MB help in any way

thanks for your help
=)

What specs?

EDIT: Ok there they are

Defiantly more ram will help, but with vista using 512mb of ram you are still limited in that department.

I wouldn't suggest putting more RAM in just to play PR though.

IF you can play, it will probably be on all low

there you go

i dont mind if the quality is all on low.. trust me, im used to playing everything on low on this computer =p thanks for the help..

It would be very iffy, but luckily PR is free so you have nothing to lose besides a few hours downloading.

You will be missing out on a lot of things with low graphics though, but if that doesn't matter to you and you can play then its all the better.

wait what if i had a gateway laptop with a Nvidia 9800 GTX graphics card would that help?

More detailed specs? Also, I highly, highly doubt you have a 9800 GTX in a laptop - more likely it's the mobile version, the 9800M GT

With your current specs on your laptop you may be able to run pr, but you wont have any smooth gameplay even on low settings. Because your graphics card is a build in one so it will borrow your memory and cpu power. So you will have less resources left. On top of that your cpu is not very powerful either.

So even with a upgrade of another 1024MB ram wont make a difference when it comes to playing PR.

Sorry for not being more detailed ur right I don't have a 9800 GTX I don't know that much about computers, Would I still be able to play with this mobile 9800?

Yes, depending on your other specs. If you provide them we are more than willing to tell you. Even just giving us the model would be enough.

alright here are my specs: GateWay M series/7315u, 54 bit operating system, 4 GBs of memory, CPU-T3200 at 2.00 GHZ, intel pentian (I may have spelt that wrong) chip. btw thank you very much for helping me with this

You will be able to run it with pretty decent settings, but probably not on all high. The BF2 engine is fairly CPU intensive, without a 2.5+ ghz processor I don't think you'll be able to max it out. It should still look quite pretty though

A Pentium at 2.00? eerr my old desktop was a P4 at 2.00 and I could only play on the lowest of the low settings (fps was low even then) but I had a very old gfx card soooo it can go either way really.

A Pentium doesn?t mean that it has to be a P4. For example a Pentium Core 2 Duo at 2.0 Ghz is WAY faster than a P4 at 4.0 Ghz.

From the first post it says he has a intel celeron(T3200 is a celeron model) which is a somewhat weak cpu even at 2.0 GHz. And his GPU is integrated which means it uses cpu power and uses the RAM instead of having its own memory.

So I don?t think he will be running even standard BF2 very smooth at low.

alright ill see if i can get a 2.5 GHZ processer thank you very much for helping me out

Laptop GPUs are integrated into their mobos, doesn't automatically make it integrated graphics. They are real GPUs, just cut down in order to fit into a laptop form factor - and the Nvidia M cards are physically separate from the CPU. I ran PR on an 8600M GT for 2 full years - a significantly worse card, and I was running PR on all high except AA. I had a more powerful CPU, but that was the only real difference between his build and mine.

Anyhow, the proof is in the pudding. Give it a go DazeMaker, let us know

hello again unfortunately my laptop could not run PR so instead i'm trying to raise money to buy an AlianWare M15x laptop i'm getting 20 dollars a week and its 1200 dollars so this might take awhile but from what i hear about PR i hope its worth it plus i also heard about another mod, Forgotten Hope 2, looks cool anyways i had a quastion about one of the classes in PR, what is the Officers class and what is the weapon load out for the US?

Don't waste your money on an alienware, you're paying over the odds for the name. Just get a well specified Dell. Something like this will run PR reasonably well. Go to customise and just make sure you have 4gb of ram selected.

If you're looking for a gaming computer, unless you really, really need a laptop, I would highly recommend assembling a desktop on your own. It will cost far less (you can put a decent rig together for $600, i just put together a pretty high end rig for $750)

It's very simple, the members of this forum will be more than willing to help you out if you run into any problems. And of course, it's much cheaper

what sort of desktop would you recomend
