    Well to spare the forum another thread on this matter- A friend said he'd let me have his old gaming laptop so I'd like to know if it can handle XIV comfortably before I bother installing and updating just to get more trouble...

    So here are some specs... (copy-pasta'd from the Acer website)
    Model: Acer Aspire 5730z

    Processor / Speed: Intel® Pentium® dual-core mobile processor T3200/T3400 (1 MB L2 Cache, 2/2.16 GHz, 667 MHz FSB, 35 W), supporting Intel® 64 architecture.
    Core Logic Chipset Mobile Intel® GL40 Express Chipset.
    System Bus Speed 667 MHz.

    RAM / Max RAM : Up to 2 GB of DDR2 667 MHz memory, upgradable to 4 GB using two soDIMM modules.

    Video Subsystem : Mobile Intel® GL40 Express Chipset with integrated 3D graphics, featuring Intel® Graphics Media Accelerator 4500M (Intel® GMA 4500M) with up to 1759 MB of Intel® Dynamic Video Memory Technology 5.0 (64 MB of dedicated video memory, up to 1695 MB of shared system memory), supporting Microsoft® DirectX® 10.

    Integrated HD/Intel Mobile/Low class Radeons/Lower class nVidia Will NOT run XIV.

    nVidia 9700M GTS 512MB GDDR3 DEDICATED has a problem running this game. That laptop is by far NOT a Gaming laptop of any kind except maybe low quality WoW.

    I speak from experience due to the fact I own a gaming laptop with that graphics card and Unless its Low/Standard you can't play XIV at playable rates @ 1440x900

    Toshiba Qosmio X305 Q701

    2.0Ghz Intel P7350 (45NM)
    4.0GB GDDR3 1066Mhz ram
    nVidia 9700M GTS 512MB GDDR3 dedicated video card
    200GB Hitachi 7200RPM 32mb cache SATA II HD
