Is it possible to upgrade the samsung nc10 to play this came?
I bought this game Call Of Duty V – WorldatWar
but it seems like the netbook’s video card or driver doesn’t support ubyte4n vertex data.the requirements for the game is
Processor: AMD 64 3200+/Intel Pentium 4 3.0GHz or better
Hard drive: 8 GB free hard drive space
Memory: 512MB RAM (XP)/1GB RAM (VISTA)
Graphics: Shader 3.0 or better, 256MB Nvidia Geforce 6600GT/ATI Radeon 1600XT or betterYeah, check our NC10 faq. Modern fps games have little to no chance of running. You need to go back a few years. There are plenty of older games that will work well and are still very enjoyable!
To be honest playing modern fps games on a 10″ screen won’t me that much fun anyway – your targets will be tiny little dots. A sure fire way to strain your eyes!
NC10 will generally play graphic intensive games of about up to 4 years ago. Any newer than that and it will struggle or if it requires something like Hardware T&L it just plain wont work.
Best to dig out the old games or get into the bargin bin at PCworld.
I am getting braver, in one of my first posts I suggested a console for playing games and I was called a troll.
Netbooks are not intended to be a gaming platform. I remember when a universal upgradeable slot for graphics cards on laptops was talked about but unsure if it ever happened.
Call of Duty WAW is awesome on the 360, unfortunately I have now finished it.
Each to their own but IMHO a 360, big screen, with a decent 5.1 Dolby setup is what you should get for games, not a netbook

[/quote1229552646]I don’t understand why anyone would bash you or call you a troll – I also can’t imagine why anyone would buy a netbook with the initial thought of being able to play modern games (newer than ’04.) It’s what I do – I can run games like Total Annihilation, Red Alert 2, System Shock 2, older games from GOG. But my primary gaming is now on my 360.
After hearing about the mess that is GTA 4 on pc I am regrettably going to join the dark side and get an XBOX 360 (sigh) I hardly touch my desktop now I have my NC10

[/quote1229553071]Thanks, I gave up gaming on PC’s many years ago – It was costing too much money every time a new game came out.
I have a 360, a good a/v receiver, great 5.1 speakers and a 46″ HDTV, THATS GAMING! The netbook for me is cheap & is for internet and Office, thats about it.
I have to say a question about upgrading the graphics card on an NC10 is almost amusing. Apologies in advance.

[/quote1229554060]I don’t think you will regret it, although I bought the 360 GTA4 it didn’t really float my boat. I must be a COD fan as I have completed all of them. I tried online but its too savage and I am usually the victim!
Even if were possible I cannot imagine playing these games on a small screen and you need 5.1 to work out where they are coming from.
my PS3 is my gaming machine….. I just see more sense in buying a machine designed for the purpose you are using it for… I always thought it funny how people bagged on the cost of the PS3 or even xbox when it would cost 5 to 10 time that cost to get a PC that will run the same kind of graphics as a next gen console. I gotta try my old heli games like SAR 3 and Commanche on the netbook… still have a cool but very dusty saitek Joystick in the basement. Loved that joystick cuz it was so customizable and southpaw friendly…. anyone know of a pc game like field commander for PSP or advance wars on the old GBA

“5 to 10 time that” is a bit of an exaggeration, but I understand what you mean. At the time, it did cost a lot more for a PC to produce the graphics quality of either the Xbox 360 or the PS3. Luckily that isn’t the case now, with even low-end systems capable of as good, and sometimes better, graphics quality than either console. In saying that, it is a few years since either console was launched, so it was inevitable that this would happen.
