"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.

Pentium Ms are scarily quick, the FSB is simply the speed that data is transfered between the processor and RAM...

you've got a Pentium M, so that 1.6Ghz it about equivalent to a 2.5Ghz P4, I think. Don't quote me on it, though.

Yeah I have that too, but it's a pain in the rear-end when you open something IE-only without knowing, only to have to do it all over again in said crappy browser.

I love the IE plugin for Firefox, you can select to open a link in IE from FF.

I think most games run on most machines that are half reasonable on the lowest settings at least.

You will be fine with that.

Thats great cheers.

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

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