An alienware *laff*

Not sure actually, but I'm sure there's a rig somewhere.

wish there was, but you'll be lucky - graphics card is the (big) bottleneck
there...

Couldn't get D3 to work on the kid's new desktop, for a lark I loaded it
onto my wife's laptop, it actually ran for a bit until it locked up, am
willing to bet you could make it work on this thing-Dell Inspiron 9100
Processor: Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 2.80GHz (2 CPUs) 512MB RAM ATI MOBILITY
RADEON 9700. $1500 IIRC.

Works PERFECTLY on my laptop. I have it on the High Graphics setting too (it
starts going slow on Ultra High).

It's a Toshiba Satellite P30.
Pentium 4, 3.20GHz, 512RAM

Obviously I use a USB Mouse.. how hard would it be with the mouse pad!?

Aha. I thought maybe you were feeding us a line of bull, because the
stats listed on that site look rather unimpressive, but after looking
through the "detailed specs," I see the choices for customization are
better than the default parts.

The best card they have listed is an ATI MOBILITY Radeon 9700 video card
w/ 128mb VRAM.

Assuming you changed the default processor/video card choices (defaults
to a celeron, yuck), this laptop would probably make a decent rig for Doom3.

Harder than minesweeper for sure, slick.

Thanks for the info

Yup, just blasted through D3 on this:
https://www.shop.ajp.co.uk/?show=wide_info&id=D900T

(which = sager 9860 = clevo D9T = Alienware Area51m 7700 and possibly some
others)

1024x768, high graphics settings, fps > 30 (never measured it)

Runs fine on my Rock Xtreme 3.0GHz with Radeon 9700 and 1GB RAM, apart
from the fact that it crashes when you teleport to hell. I am going to
try fiddling with the ATI driver settings some time as advised in this
forum by Marcus Torrent.
