If this isn't the right area for this please let me know, thankx in advanced.

I was wondering I'm not sure if my computer is gonna be able to run STO so can someone tell me if there is a program that tell you if your computer is capable of running the game like WOW and many other online games.

If you attach a dxdiag report here, I'm sure someone can take a look :-)

Have you looked at this page? It has the minimum requirements and the way to check your system specs.

I know that I'm personally going to need to at minimum make some upgrades if I want to use my laptop. Can anyone make any suggestions? I'm usuing a dell inspiron 1520, and here is my dxdiag:

Operating System: Windows XP Home Edition (5.1, Build 2600)
Processor: Intel Pentium Dual CPU T2330 @1.60 Ghz (2 CPUS)
Memory: 1014 MB RAM
DirectX: Version 9.0c
Graphics: (the default Mobile Intel 965 Express

I'm already planning on upgrading and found a good 2GB Ram stick. I assume a better Graphics card would be nice but I have no knowledge of laptop cards - any suggestions? Any other thing I may want to look for?

Laptops don't generally have upgradable graphics cards, so you will likely need to get a new laptop.

didn't feel this was worth a new thread, but if I have an Nvidia GeForce 8600 GT, I can run the game right?

Ah. So my admitted lack of laptop knowledge shows. Thats okay. I have a desktop I know will run it was just hoping. Thanks.

There you go. It will have to download a plugin, so if you have any script blocker extensions in your browser, you will need to enable the site.

Oh. Wow. Thanks for the link.

Thankx for the site help me to find out, sadly I can't play it.......think I'll hang myself now
