I'm going to be away from my main computer during the Romulan reruns.
I will be taking my laptop with me.
Here are the stats:
Core 2 Duo T5450
3GB Ram Integrated Intel Graphics Media Accelerator X3100 with up to 384MB of Dynamic Video Memory and GM965 Chipset
Has anyone one used STO with a similar GFX chipset? I don't need it to look good I just need it playable.
Main PC Stats:
Athlon 64 4000+ Single core
3GB Ram
Radeon HD 4650 1GB (Bought this one after I got STO (strongest AGP card, I think)
Hey man - I only have my laptop (waiting to move into my new house before I build a desktop).
It sounds really similar to yours EXCEPT for the graphics card.
I've never been a fan of the Intel intergrated video cards, so I can't promise you anything but I suspect that it should at least be able to run - just not beautifully. Like I said the processor and RAM shouldn't be a problem, but my only concern is the vid card. I'd be willing to bed that it'll run though - just turn everything down
Same here, heck the CPU is more powerful than on my main, my worry the GPU. I know I'm going to have to get a cooling pad since WOW at medium, tends to warm it up real good.
I bought this laptop for my business so GPU wasn't on my list. LOL
I have run STO on a similar setup.. Only downside is you have to down the graphics to a setting that runs smooth enough.. Which when your used to having your main machine on MAX detail - really makes you want to move to that..
Good side tho - is it does work - and you can use it on the road for still getting your STO fix

p.s. I would recommend something with ATI or Nvidia graphics over Intel anyday :S

I ran STO on a POS desktop that technically was below the minimum specs. Most of the graphics weren't very detailed and I always had long load times. So I'm gonna guess that you'll be fine, but with only and integrated graphics chipset you're probably gonna be stuck with low res graphics.

But it handles STO nicely.
Stats:
-Intel I3-370M
-4 gigs of RAM
-ATI 5470 Mobility
Yeah dude, a mouse is the only way to go - I have a tough enough time trying to play minesweeper on with the touchpad!
