    Hi there,

    Do you think i will be able to play FEAR on an Acer Aspire 5021WLMi AMD Turion 64 ML28 1.6GHz 512MB 100GB (128MB X700) DVD-Dual 15.4"(CrystalBrite) WLAN XPH + Acer GridVista Acer Arcade & 6-in-1 Card Reader

    (Which can be found on www.ebuyer.com, with the quickfind code of 90575)

    I want to play C&C Generals too. Well what do you guys think?

    Thanks,

    Mitch

    Yes, you shouldn't have a problem playing FEAR.

    Is there any way you could bump up the CPU? That would help...see if you can get one with a 1MB L2 cache (the ML-28 has a 512k), such as an ML-30 or -34.

    you would see much better stability with 1gb of RAM as wel li believe, but playing FEAR is all abou the GPU, the X700 should be up to the task, but don't expect extremely high settings
