Can my Laptop run NS2?

Holyreploid

I've been considering picking up NS2 but I need to know if my Laptop's specs can handle it either in beta or at full release.

Operating System: Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit
Processor: Intel® Core™ i3-2350M CPU @ 2.30GHz (4 CPUs)
Memory: 4GB RAM
Graphics Driver: Nvidian GeForce GT 525M

Not sure what other information I need to provide but any help would be great.

you can't compare the 580m to the 525, they're in different leagues.

to answer OP, you can run it, but i cannot promise you it will run as good as you want, it will most likely run on low with everything off at an acceptable fps (for now anyway), don't expect eye candy.

Well I decided too pick it up and overall with all settings set to low, It runs at an acceptable performance.

The FPS at the moment is a low but it is still somewhat playable.

Either way, it was worth the money.

Good to read that it runs on your laptop. Expect to see improvements in the upcoming patches. There's an older core-2-duo PC in the dev's office. The goal is to have NS2 run smoothly on that machine in the end.

If that's their goal then I reckon I can say goodbye to Low FPS (10-20) on official release, Looking forward to it. :)

Just what I and possibly a lot of NS2 Players were hoping to hear.
