Have you got all the new drivers for everything?

EVE runs fine on my Dell Inspiron 4150. It is 1.7GHz with 256MB of RAM. Make sure you have the latest drivers.

Hi,
simple answer: Notebooks and Laptops have slow harddisks. As they are built to use minimal energy, these harddisks have a slower rotaion, much higher latency and lower data-transfer speed.
So it take very long to load 'all about EVE' into your RAM and accessing the files during the game is slow as well.
Another problem might be the display (the reason why I don't do anything else than mining): TFTs work bad with dark desktops. In space I do hardly see anything.

I have a Dell 8500 with basically the same stats you mention: 2.2 Gig 512RAM 64meg Nivida graphics, AC-whatever (built in sound).
Running XP pro and playing eve GREAT!!!
I do have a 5400 RPM hard drive, but just to test i placed a 4200 rpm in and ran ok as well. A little slower loading up... but it ram fine.
I also have a 7200 external firewire drive that I install eve to and that playes fine as well.
I would look to make sure you have the ABSOLUTE latest drivers for your OS installed, inculding DirectX 9. Then try again.
Cheers

a (maybe) stupid question : some laptops have some "hybrid" resolutions, mainly those with the "wide" screens (something like 1280x800). How does it works with games, in which aspect ratios do not respect the "wide" screens ? (1024x768, 1280x1024, etc.)
And, of course, does it look good with EVE ?
Cool ideas for the game - New mission types - Group missions - Planets and the market |

He also is running a Celeron, so it is probably a lower end on video adapter. Depends on the video adapter, celeron will run it, but its dependent on your video adapter. Intel Extreme graphics will probably have bottlenecks with 3d immersive games.

I believe that your laptop should handle that resolution in the way it handles unusual resolutions. It will simply pan display when you get your mous near screen edge.

I have a widescreen laptop running built-in 64 graphics card and centrino. Runs sweet on the maximum resolution possible through a WLAN.
Best advice has already been given here... check your graphics drivers are the latest, download any updates from the manufacturers website.

I am running a celery 2ghz 64Mb vid chip, it may fall over because the chip is perhaps an intel extreme jobbie, not supported by Eve :((, i can get eve to run but there is avatar corruption and its very slow in stations and don't even TRY to undock, instant CTD. with C++ runtime errors.
Still, its good enuff to start skills browse market blah blah blah..
