I've not been to lucky of late... My homebuild PC died... maybe mobo or PSU. Tonight my PS2 died, only 6 months old and it stays in standy-by.

I get paid today and I know there is a nice 1.6ghz Thinkpad I could get for 250 quid.

What should I do Get another PS2 or buy the IBM thinkpad? All I know is it has a 1.6ghz proccesor, an Intel HT. Will this machine be able to handle the game better than PS2?

If its ANYTHING resembling the thinkpad I had, no.

I could barely run Diablo ONE on that thing.


I ended up chopping it into little pieces with an axe in my back yard >:D

You need some seriously good specs to run PSU well on a PC of any sort.

Or you could just make yourself one of these:

my laptop was top of the line 3 years ago, and it runs PSU just fine, even with 4-5 other programs open at the same time

I build pcs and lets just say running psu with a 1.6 ghz processor aint gonna happen. Unless you enjoy slow motion running and teleporting enemies...lol http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif maybe if u had at least 256 dedicated video memory and 2 gb ram u might be able to pull it off but thats a big maybe

u r prolly better off picking up a new desktop if you wanna run games. laptops are great but not so much for online gaming. and the ones that are are very expensive!

idk what he's talking about

I have a 1.70 Ghz processor and 1.00 GB of Ram

Enemies rarely teleport on me, unless I'm doing a lot of things, and the same is said about slowdown. It only slows down when I open a new program. But the entire time I'm playing I have aim, yahoo messenger, and msn open, and have no problems

Why do people have so many problems with PC version? I've got 2 GB of RAM and a Athlon 64 X2 4400+ (and a Geforce 7900 GS) and it runs without lag or slowdown whatsoever. It's not an "uber" computer like some folks say you need for PSU.
