    Hi,

    I wanted to know if it is possible to play need for speed carbon on a fujitsu's lifebook s7020 although we all know fujitsu's lifebook s7020 is not a gaming laptop? After looking at the hardware requirements for the game my lifebook has what it takes to run the game. I tried installing it on my computer, the screen turns black and then report an error to microsoft comes up. I'd appreciate any suggests that you may have.

    The S7020 has a really old Intel GME855 graphics chipset (correct me if thats wrong and its on GMA900), which will not run any Need For Speed game after Underground (my old desktop had the GME 855 card before I put an ATI gpu in it).

    GMA900 is slightly better, but even that will not run anything beyond Underground 2. Most Wanted runs on the very very lowest settings and resolution, and sometimes it crashes because of the lack of graphics power. So its still a no-go for Carbon.
