3 ghz , 1024 ram , 9800 XT .. they are making sure it runs fine on older systems ; 512 ram + 1.5 ghz will ensure near optimum performance I think

Intel P4 - 1.5Ghz 256Mb DDR a really shitty videocard
guess where my problems might stem from.. :(
on the other hand, friends of mine who actually know something about computers said I should be able to run it, just with all the fancy stuff switched quite resolutely OFF.

You should get a new graphics card if it's really bad, though.

I'm not saying too expensive, just expensive.. I don't know.. what do you think a pretty up-to-date graphics card would cost to get installed..?

Upgrading laptops is not really that possible. Especially with Dells. FUCKING MONKEYS!

from what I've read on the dell site is that it's only really possible to upgrade from the standard shitty 16Mb card to a slightly less shitty 32Mb card.
anyway, I sent them an e-mail asking what the options are.. we'll see...

It's a SATA drive I installed it on. I installed XP normally on a 10GB partition. When windows was installed I created two other 10BG partitions. One for XP64 and one for Longhorn.
I then booted to disc and the XP64 install ran fine. I'm using Hitachi Deskstar 7K250's SATA drives. Don't know if that means anything. Didn't have to use a floppy boot at all.

I've just started an AFX logo one. I'm going to render both in 3DS when I've got it from my mate. BAM!
