1.6 GHrz Mobile Pentium Processor
756 MB Ram
64 MB NVidia Geforce Go Grafics Card

Get Marathon Here
Get Marathon 2 and Infinity Here

laptop eh? don't count on much, oh a good day i can run my GeForce 4 Ti 4200 with 64MB RAM with full graphics at 800x600 res, online play i turn it all down though, laggs too much, i got a 2.4 GHz processor, my comp is 4 years old, but still plays Halo like a charm, GeForce knows their stuff. but the Go graphics card is way less powerfull, i doubt you could get high resolutions or graphics with it, turn everything off and run at 800x600, should be good, but you will miss out on the weapon effects

At least 30fps...with a 64 MB card you can't ask for much. On my old p3 i have the graphics set so a warthog is a greenishgrey-blob, people are moving sticks, etc. Oh, I have a 64MB nvidia card.

Heyyo,

Err... Synthmilk? you might wanna try turning down your screen rez to 640x480. I know it's fugly, but at least your framerate will be higher.. I suggest settings like this:

--Video--
Screen Rez: 640x480
Refresh Rate: 60-120Hz (the highest your monitor can handle
Framerate: VSYNC
Specular: off
Shadows: off
Decals: on
Textures: high
Particles: high


That way you'll get at least a pretty nice look to the game... I use those settings, and I get 39 F/S on the timedemo. ;)
