    If you can play the demo, you can play the full game.

    Mmm... if you can play the demo smoothly, you should be able to play the full version smoothly. The 7150M isn't really a very good card, though. Can you load up a map with a swarm of AI players to test their strain on your notebook? You may experience some slowdown.

    Really? I always remember the F.E.A.R. Demo had simpler textures than the original game. That was why I would be able to no shadows/Max/Medium out most things on the demo in my 9700Pro whereas in the original Id only be able to run it in Low/Med/rarely Max + no shadows.

    Well, you could always modify the game settings to knock the detail level down, and achieve the same effect...

    You know what's funny? I had the opposite experience with the FEAR demo. The demo ran like crap on every computer I tried it on, but the retail game itself ran a LOT better.

    Not in BF2. The demo runs great at minimum 800x600 on a FX5200 while the retail 1.2 requieres a FX5800 >_>

    Retail games generally run better than the demo because of patches that fix bugs and find shortcuts to make it easier for CPU/GPU etc.

    Nice to hear that all is fine. Once you've played BF2 a little and have had the chance to get familiar with it, I suggest you try Project Reality mod for BF2. It's the most realistic combat mod you'll find out there. Although I must warn you that the system requirements for Project Reality is a little higher than the original BF2. Anyways hers a link to the site: www.realitymod.com
