G3 Laptop?

[R1Time]

Don't know if this was asked yet? What laptop do you use to play G3? And can you recommend A good laptop to use with G3. Can I go to Fry's? to get a decent laptop for G3?

Thanks

I have a compaq presario v6500 with 768 mb ram. I had to up the video memory in the bios and pretty much close everything I'm running then G3 runs fine. I imagine any of the new dual cores out wouldn't have a problem.

I run G3.5 on my laptop. It's a Dell Inspiron E1705 with a 2 GHz dual-core processor, 2GB RAM, 256MB Nvidia GeForce Go 7900GS video running into a 17" widescreen WUXGA monitor at 1920 X 1200 resolution.

I think it runs ok on this setup. :mrgreen:



Edit: Oh yeah...I'm running Vista Home Premium too.

I've got a Dell Precision M90 with Intel Core 2 Duo, 2 GB RAM, 512M NVidia Quadro FX 2500M graphics card... Running XP Pro x64. I use this thing for 3d animation and stuff. Anyhow runs ok, but I had to hack/copy the install from another system to get it to install on the 64bit OS...

Thanks guys. I am looking towards a Dell,maybe a XPS?

Probably any reasonable laptop with a reasonable amount of ram/speed which pretty much anything new nowadays will be, will be fine for G3.5 Obviously faster is always better...heh. An XPS is probably great..

Works ok on my HP Pavillion DV6000 w/AMD Turion 64 @1.6Ghz, 2G RAM and Nvidia Go 6150 on 15" widescreen.
