Doesn't look too great if you want to be playing a bunch of games. It might suffice for normal web browsing, probably RuneScape...But 1GB RAM? Seriously? That still exists? How about a video card? And the 1.6 GHz is a bit...Urghhh.

I Use 1GB Ram perfectly fine :?

 

 

 

But no that laptop sucks If you want a good one you have to spend alot more =/

for 600 quid you could get A LOT better

 

 

 

I got http://www.laptopsdirect.co.uk/Acer_Aspire_6920_Gemstone_Blue_Laptops/prod.asp for just a little over 600 last week.

[edard]

Remember 600 quid is about $1200 dollars :D Might be out of his price range at the moment.

1 GB of ram isn't too bad, my old laptop had a 1.6 ghz processor with 503 mb of RAM and I could sorta run HL2 on it :P

[ilya]

Wow that laptop blows some serious crap.

 

I have Duo core 2.0ghz (like 2.5 times faster then yours)

 

3GB of ram (3 times of urs)

 

320GB Harddrive Space (4 times :) )

 

Plus Nvidia Geforce 8200M G graphics card that can run any game i throw at it at the highest setting (except for oblivion).

 

And on and on and I only bought this for 600$. You can do MUCh better then that.

[jjrox32]

Skatepank that's pretty nice. What company made it? Here's mine:

 

 

 

Duo core 2.0 ghz

 

4 GB of RAM

 

100 GB harddrive

 

Nvidia 8700 (plus some random letters) graphics card.

 

 

 

I envy your hard drive space :( After installing all my games I have maybe 15-20 GB left.

[ThurinEthir]

Mine cost like $1000. Worth it. :|

 

It's an ASUS F8Sn (Yay Asus), B1 IIRC.

 

2.1 GHz, 3GB RAM (4 GB max), 250GB HD space, Nvidia 9500M GS (Video card...).

 

Oh, and apparently no one answered the OP's main question. (We were too busy bashing the computer, I guess) Yes, you should be able to run RuneScape and something else at the same time. Any computer that can't probably fails hard. But like I said, if you want to play more high-end games, good luck.

 

If you're willing to consider another laptop, try this. I'd get one with at least 2GB RAM and 1.8 GHz if I were you. And a decent video card.

It's HP, and thats not a bad computer yourself (except for HD space :) )

 

But after like 3 days of torrenting I only have 110GB left! Guess I'll have to buy a removable harddrive, or all of my games won't fit :)

Okay dude, you're such an idiot.

 

First of all you contributed nothing but ill feeling by saying that, and calling everyone a liar.

 

 

 

Also I remember you were calling a liar because you claimed that my laptop couldn't run S.T.A.L.K.E.R.. Now it runs perfecting and if you don't know [cabbage] about computers then shut the hell up.

 

 

 

Is all you do, log in and call people liars on these forums?

 

 

 

I know I'm being hypocritical with all the off topic but I had to tell the fool.

[BlueLancer]

Well.. That's a bit off topic.. S.T.A.L.K.E.R is an extremely demanding FPS game, even some semi-high end desktop users have problems running it without screen lag or hangups.

 

 

 

If you have a $2,500 laptop.. Why not? It could be possible if it has a strong enough inbuilt nVidia/ATI graphics card, although I'd estimate very few people have strong enough laptops to run games like Stalker smoothly. My laptop can barely even launch up games 2x less processor/gfx demanding, and it's pretty powerful.

 

 

 

I doubt OP cares though, he's mostly looking for a laptop that's suitable for Runescape and possibly mild multitasking.
