    Does anyone know how well Company of Heros runs on an XPS 1210? Would someone with an 1210 be able to have a look? It would be a great help if someone could. The demo is available for download atm. Thanks in advance!

    Look at the minimum/recommended specs for company of heros. I know its a new game, so the 7400 likley wont run it at top specs, but it wont be bad. But as for HL2, AOE3, CIV4, and even BF2, I can top all these games out on my 1210.

    Just put the demo on my M1210(T2300,1GB, 7400 Geforece)
    Recommanded settings are pretty good, skirimish mode on the small map in the demo played well.
    HL2 and Civ4 run well on my M1210

    Oh cool. Should it run even better with a 2Ghz Core 2 Duo CPU and 2GB of ram?

    Are the recommended settings they gave you mostly medium? And have you tried playing it at 1280x1024 resolution (i will be playing at this res mostly)? Thanks a heap!

    You won't be able to run at 1280x1024 because the 12.1 inch widescreen on the m1210 has a native (and maximum) resolution of 1280x800.
