I've got a question for anyone who knows anything about graphics cards, laptops, and Rollercoaster Tycoon 3...

Will Rollercoaster Tyccon 3 run on my puny lil' laptop?

To be honest, I'm not all that sure how much graphics memory I have. I know that it's shared memory, and that I have at least 18MB of it. But precisely how much, I'm not sure. And precisely what RCT3 takes, I'm not sure. I think I've had people tell me it won't run... but I'm not sure.

So could someone please help me find out how much video memory I have, what kind of video card I have, and whether it will run?

I say yes, some people run world of warcraft on their laptops which they said came with the regular video cards that the company made, and the company wasn't a very special one bluetongue.gif
I'm quite sure it will run, try it, if it won't, just get a refund.

can't really say without knowing what it is, but geforce 2s are pretty old so you might be alright

try the demo here, if that runs then the game will TheSmile.gif

Oh, I'm sure it will. Games like that don't require much.
