Anyone use FSX on a Laptop?

[TSR2]

Hi Chaps,

I know this is a bit of a daft question coming from me, but do any of you run FSX on a Laptop with the integrated Intel 3000 series graphics card? I'm away a lot with work at the minute and I'd like to keep progressing with Thurleigh, so was contemplating buying a larger disk drive for the laptop and installing FSX.

Yes, Been running FSX on this HP 630 with the i3 and a HD3000

it's OK ... smooth enough.

Cheers Joe. I'm not expecting the same performance that I get on the PC, but so long as its usable, that's good for me.

I'm going to pull the 7200 out of my MSI, coz it's junk" , and put it in the HP.. If I can gain a couple fps for three days work ... It should be worth it.
Wonder how the SSD would improve FR'S?

I'll let you know Joe. I've some credit sitting with a mate so I've called off a 500GB Samsung SSD. £172 for 500GB seems pretty good to me, so the plan is to stick that in the laptop and install FSX. I'll let you know how it goes,

Good news (for me) My laptop has two graphics cards. I disabled the ATI Radeon HD 7400m not long after I got it to save battery life as I was on the road a lot. Just re enabled it, and it remains active when on mains, and switches to the Intel on battery. The AMD card has a dedicated 1GB of GDDR5 men.

Being there is no chance of me having a hidden DGC ... I'll just have to let it go, Ben... Let it go ... sing it with me now... l e t it... common ..
