    Hey I have a Dell Inspiron 9300, Pentium M 1.73, 1 gig of ram, and a geforce 6800 go. Whenever I try and download Lost Coast it prompts up a menu saying my 1.73 m processor isn't fast enough to support the game and that my graphics card doesn't support some light technology, but I specificlly remember somewhere that my graphics card does support it. I've alos heard that a Pentium M processor is supposed to have twice the processing power so it techinclly should be at a 3.4 or something like that. If i download it, will it run fine? Any help/input would be greatly appreciated.

    You'll have no problem running it - it doesn't recognize that you have a Pentium M processor, it just looks at the clock speed. That is odd that it reports your video card as not supporting some features...I'm sure it's just a mistake.

    It doesn't say anything about my 256MB X700, all I get is that my CPU isn't fast enough.

    Let us know how it runs. ;)

    yeah, it just checks your direct x compadibility video card, clock speed, and ram. For me, it runs perfectly!
