Bottom Scraping Minimum System?
 
Although this game will work great on my desktop machine, I'm wondering about how it will do on the 'ol lappy during trips up to the cottage.

The requirements stated on the game page say:
* Pentium II 500 MHz
* 64 MB RAM
* Windows 98+
* 30 MB HDD
* Direct X compatible 3D accelerator w/ 32 MB RAM
* 8X CD ROM
* Windows Compatible Sound Card
* OPen GL 1.1+

Lets see...
CPU - 33% (P1-mmx, 166mhz)
RAM - 75% (48 megs)
OS - OK
HDD - OK
Video - 1 meg trident card
CD - OK
Sound - OK

Any bets on whether it will load up on the lappy?
Frame rate is not an issue, as long as it doesn't go too far into the seconds-per-frame range.

Oh man you are pushing it with that but I bet as long as you arent running anything else in the background it would be playable. Frame rate might suffer in combat. I don't know much of that video ram the game might use, thats where youd really be hurting. I've run Win XP just fine on a 200mhz PII with 64 megs of ram, so you never know.

You may have problems. I've had trouble in testing on a rather more powerful laptop. :/

I'm afraid you're out of luck with the video card in particular. WW has a bunch of OpenGL accelerated eyecandy in it that'll require at least 32M of video RAM.
