I was trying to convince a buddy of mine to check out EVE and give it a shot with the free trial. So we both started downloading it, he has a macbook heavily modified (heavily), its a beast of a macbook lol, and i had my Asus Netbook. I upgraded mine to the 2gb hard drive from 1gb hard drive. Uses a p4 1.6 processor, and 160 gb ram, on xp pro, sp 2 i think.
So four hours later, EVE was downloaded (wifi slow connection and we were both downloading at the same time) i am amazed to see that my little old netbook, that the employees at Best Buy (Geek Squad) kept telling me i wouldnt even be able to run Microsoft Word on it... i disagreed and told him he was an idiot. So i bought the netbook on amazon (newegg was out of stock) and started installing EVE.... obviously it is a bit choppy with its crappy integrated vidcard, but my netbook has a 9 hour battery life, and i can take it anywhere and login to wifi and play eve... sure you can with a laptop but this thing is so damn tiny...anyway that is all someone might have wanted to know this. Im sure others have tried well before me.

Edited by: Washell Olivaw on 06/09/2009 14:01:55 As a lifetime member of the geeksquad: you have 2GB of RAM and a 160GB harddisk, not the other way round. And yes, as long as a netbook supports shader model 2.0, it'll run EVE.
P.S.: Shop assistants applied for the geeksquad, but were turned down for failing the knowledge test. P.P.S: Have one person download next time, then copy the file over the network. You would have been done in 2 to 2.5 hours instead of 4. P.P.P.S.: Your battery won't last 9 hours while running EVE.

Geek squad people were repeating all the propaganda BS about Vista. Pretty much lost any credibility as techies with me for that.
I don't care what OS people choose to use, but spare me the lies.

Unless, as the OP suggested, one of them is downloading the Mac client and the other the Windows client.
(Actually, it might be possible to get the entire Windows client out of the Mac install, but I wouldn't want to try it. I know I've copied a corrupted DLL from the Mac to the Windows client recently.)
