Oh. You can't put a graphics card in a laptop?

A Celeron isn't a strong CPU, much less the mobile version of it. Add on that it is also the graphics processor (Intel HD isn't a "graphics card" as so many people think, its taking the CPU and telling it to also complete the GPU work while also doing the CPU work) with low RAM and guessing its als...

Thank you all for your responses, but I'm going to try the laptop out. If my 8 yea old toshiba can run simulator on decent graphics in a server with only 5-10 people, i think I'm good. I'll just buy a graphics card and I'll be fine. Thanks to ALL

The laptop I'm looking at buying has the following:

Intel Dual Core Celeron Processor N2820 with Intel Burst up to 2.39GHz
4GB RAM
500GB Hard Drive
Windows 8.1
Intel HD Graphics
$400

No. I'm getting new info on what I need and instead of reying to my own thread I created a new one. A thread that had all the info.

Hello. I am getting a laptop. I want to be able to run sim at good graphics(Model Detail at 8 or 9. Ground Texture at 70 and 7. I don't care about shaders or roost. Resolution set at 32x32 or 64x64.)

Hi. I am looking to buy a new laptop for sim. I am not looking to run EMF or RF races. Just good enough to run the 19802 or 19803 server on good graphics. A desktop is out of the picture. I found a dell laptop. It's $250. Like i said. Not looking for 40 man gates. Just 19802 or 19803 server. http://...

the game detects the norm, if you go in te rider gear section and select the norm file it will look like that. I was just testing to see if the norm worked. I have the gear named "rider_body-p2sta3-"skin name".png. The norm is named rider_body-p2sta3_norm. Why is the norm not showing on the gear wh...

I did that. Still not showing up. I have "rider_body-p2sta3-norm test.png" and "rider_body-p2sta3_norm.png"

Hello. I was skinning my own gear and I decided to test how well the norms will work in-game. I have one file named "rider_body-p2sta3-norm test", and one named "rider_body-p2sta3-norm test_norm". On the first file, was my skinned gear. On the _norm file, I had the norms. I put them both into my per...

Hi. How do you make a render that looks like an in-game shot (looks like I am riding). I don't want to screenshot, cuz my graphics suck.
