Asus M51sn-B1

[whiplash47]

Hello,
I am using a Asus M51Sn-B1 Laptop. The cpu is a 1.83. What CPU can i put in this laptop to upgrade it. Also, Im running windows vista 32 bit, This is only letting me use 3 of my 4g Of ram. Should i upgrade to the 64 bit version of windows? The reason i am asking these questions is because i want my computer to be able to run diablo 3 when it comes out. And as of now, i think my cpu is lacking. Any thoughts?

Hi

Basically its too old....you are NOT going to be running Diablo 3 on it at all, no matter what you do and changing a laptop cpu is in no way simple...

All the best Brett

Wow, Not at all? I figured i would be able to because of my video card. Even if it is on a low setting. I have changed a few CPU's in laptops before. So im not worried about changing it out.

Diablo III System Requirements checker: Core 2 Duo T5550 1.83GHz & GeForce 9500M GS.
That tool is giving you a Pass on CPU and a Fail on GPU.

Using another source that says the min spec for a graphics card is NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GT suggests your GPU rises just below the minimum.

With no firm release date in sight - you have time to think about what you really want to do.

Ahh ok. Well this website http://www.systemrequirementslab.com/cyri/intro.aspx (tho idk how reliable it is) Says it was my CPU. Thats why i started to get worried about that. Guess i may have to buy something new ><

Right now I'd say anything you see is more like a 'best guess'.
The sources I looked at, and the one you mentioned, don't agree.
And the developers own site isn't listing system requirements yet.

What seems certain is that your Asus M51 is going to be close to the minimums (which could still shift around as DIII under goes final tweaking).

And its not unusual for the minimum spec systems to have trouble allowing an enjoyable gaming experience even if they can, technically, run the game.
