Running zMUD on Notebook?
|
This isn't really a "system requirements" question (I'm sure there's been dozens of those already), but would I be likely to encounter problems running zMUD on a Notebook rather than Desktop PC? (Not entirely sure of the spec, but probably something along the lines of a 1.8GHz Pentium M with 512MB RAM).
Also, any thoughts on whether there'd be problems running zMUDXP on the system mentioned above? |

Naw, no problems with that. My sister runs zMUD on a Pentium-2 notebook and that was only 400mhz :)
And I'm running zMUD right now on my 1.7ghz notebook.
The only thing to consider, perhaps, is the num-pad north/south/east/west keys... lappy's don't typically have separate numeric keypad's so if numlock is accidentally turned on, you might be typing something and start walking around... so make sure numlock is off and you'll be sweet (or use an external keyboard, hehe).
Btw, if you are talking about buying a new notebook, it is worthwhile making sure it has a gig o' ram, lappy hard drives are slower than desktop's so you want as little swapfile usage as possible, 1 gig should cane that, whereas 512k is a bit borderline :) |

An external numpad can be had for $20 and they're very light and small so you can take them with you easily.

Or you co uld use something along the lines of Ctrl+KeyPad to move around, that way you dont do it on accident.
