LOL - apparently you haven't seen the specs of laptops lately. The newest ones come equipped with GeForce4's. I only have a 32 meg GeForce2 and it's a 1Ghz CPU - which is better than most desktop computers.
My question was directed to someone who actually knew something - so don't be a jerk next time.
Not to mention that it runs every Half-Life mod perfectly with great framerates... even Quake 3 at a pretty good rate.
I have an IBM Thinkpad T30, with 256 MB RAM, a 1.8 MHz Pentium P4, and an ATI Radeon Mobility 7500 with 16 MB VRAM. And let me tell you from personal experience, NS runs very well on it.
thats pretty much all i can name besides a 14.1 viewable...
edit: by the way, hl mods run perfectly ony my computer as does return to castle wolfenstein <!--emo&:D--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':D'><!--endemo-->
sure i can't play anything on it, but i got it for free!!! ^_^ I could prolly at least run HL in software mode or something if I had to, but I'm content to just keep MAME and Snes9x on there. ;)
So everyone here is on a laptop? <!--emo&;)--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=';)'><!--endemo-->
And Seraphic8X, did I say something about laptops not being able to run NS? No. I just told you to not eat rocks.
well think of the little keyboard! and what if you dont got a little mouse for it. Those ball mouses make me mad, and the pads make me wanna electicute the people that mad them with the laptop! But on a good laptop it would of course work(why wouldnt it?) But teh mouse teh mouse!
I'm on a laptop. Pretty damn good one too I'd have to say.
- 2ghz Processor - 512mb ram - 40 gb harddrive - video card is only an ATI Radeon though <!--emo&:(--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/sad.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':('><!--endemo-->
Allright - my entire point was that laptops DO NOT suck by any extent anymore.
As far as the keyboard and mouse comments go... the keyboard is fine and you can always attach a seperate mouse. I have an MS Intellimouse Optical on mine.
Seraphic8X, are you on the Xbox Live beta? I saw an editorial post about gamer-tags, and your name jumped out at me. I just got in on the last leg of the beta and should be starting later this week.

NS gets a good 30-40 fps at 1024x768. It would get higher at 800x600, but 30-40 fps is enough for me.
