I have an HP ZE5732QV notebook. Its system specs are:
Full Sized (non mobil) P4 2300
778MB DDR400 ram (128 dedicated to video, default ram is 256, but I added a 512MB stick)
40GB U66 4200RPM 2MB Cache internal hard drive
ATI Radeon IGP 345M Ver. 6.14 intergrated graphics
System managed swap file.
XP Home with all current updates.
The test says my system passes everything 100% but the opening movies are really skippy and the sound skips as well. Once the game loads the rotating planet in the background is skippy still as well as the music. No matter what speed setting, graphics settings, and map size I use when the game loads I can see everything fine except for the terrain (sp?). I see my units on a black background were the terrain should be. I will be upgrading to a Hitatchi Travelstar U100 8MB Cache 7200RPM hard drive soon (user tests show a 45% preformance increase over my current hard drive) and hope that will help alot of the problem. Even Diablo 2 runs bad on my notebook. I will also be dumping the factory generic 256MB stick of memory and adding another 512MB stick of brand name memory soon.
