"Spec help"

My soon to have laptop has 400 MHz Front side bus.

All the other requirements are fully met for a game demo im downloading later when I get the laptop.
The only figure thats not over the system requirements is it says it requires a Pentium 800 MHz, but like ive said my laptop spec states 400 MHz Front side bus.

Will it let it down? or not run at all? or not prove to be any problem?

Cheers.

Oh and the processor is an Intel Pentium M.

FSB isn't your clock speed, that is multiplied by another value to get your clock speed.

Go run Run > dxdiag

What speed does it say your Laptop is?

err.. 1.6 ghz I believe.
512 ram
and its got 64mb Radeon graphics

What game is it?

Just some ride rollercoaster sim type demo Ive been wanting to check out for a while. The pc im currently using has no chance of running it and im getting the lappie this evening.

Rollercoaster Tycoon?

Nope, but I will be getting that with the new expansion later.

If it says it needs a Pentium 800Mhz, that's your processor speed - in which you earlier said was 1.6Ghz.

You should be fine, although go here to confirm if you like (IE only) [URL]http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/using/games/gameadvisor/default.mspx[/URL]
