should work fine, but with 256 RAM it will seem slow when you run more then 1 program, actually really slow. You might wanna upgrade that if possible on that laptop not sure bout that.

On a laptop the ramm can be upgraded. Most laptops come with spots for two ram chips. If worst comes to worst, hes got 2 128 mb ram chips, take one out and put in a 256 or a 512. He'll have some bitching ram.

i got 512 Mb ram on my Laptop, but i dont have d2 on it, i use it for school work, and games during class ;)

As for the wireless card and router. I recomend Linksys Wireless G with the 4 port wireless G router. I have been using Linksys stuff since 2k and they haven't given me any problems.

It matters not whether you win or lose; what matters is whether I win or lose.

seriously, if your grandma got that laptop for 699, then you got ripped off because even stores sell cheaper than that now....

MightyJoe 2004-09-05 01:17 PM

Nah, it will be fine. I've run D2 on my 700 mhz 128 ram computer forever. I do think you got ripped off, though. I bought a Dell around 6 months ago that was 2.4 ghz and 512 ram with 40 GB hard drive, and got it for 800 dollars.

It does seem a little pricey Joka and unless you really have to be mobile or have alot of work that you will use a laptop for then I would have opted for a desk top computer,you could have got dvd player/burner with 512mb ram and 3.2 ghz processor for that much.

Joka69 2004-09-05 03:22 PM

well.. i can upgrade it.. thtas not a problem.. im puttin xp on it and the ram is goin to be increased to the max.. and a cd/dvd burner is comming soon to

yuna-rikku-pain 2004-09-05 03:27 PM

The term for the slot where you place things like Wireless Cards and whatnot is a PCMCIA slot, actually.

Also, if you have an integrated Netcard, you'll want to disable that one in your BIOS setup, to avoid problems later on (unless you plan on using it). That just makes things simpler though, if you're gonna only be using Wireless.
