Author Topic: Will this laptop be able to run blockland at all? (Read 3430 times)

I'm gonna stress-test an ancient Windows XP laptop I found. I haven't turned it on yet, so I don't know the specs besides what cnet.com tells me.

32-160 MB RAM
AMD K6-2 400.0 MHz processor
100.0 MHz Front Side Bus
L2 cache - 256.0 KB - Pipeline Burst Cache
PCI - S3 ViRGE/MX - 2.0 MB SGRAM graphics processor

I doubt Blockland will even open with this, but it really couldn't hurt to try. While I'm searching for the plug, does anyone have an idea on this speed?

Dear god. Is this from 1992 or something?

Oh my gosh, 32mb ram?
I've made text files larger than that!

Odds are no.

Even if it has windows Xp, some laptops are just made stuff.
It was probably made for generic office work or something.

Well at least it's not a MacBook.

No. Especially with V21's new Graphics.

my calculator can run blockland

Someone literally gave it to me for free. I just need to get the proper DC jack to be able to run it, for it'll probably die before it boots with its battery.

This is so damn true.

The worst CPU I've gotten BL to run on is an old 700 MHz one, and that was cutting it pretty close.

Upgrade the forget out of it until all that's left original is the case

Is there some way to make a jack that would fit into the hole for the charger? It's a 15V DC hole but I don't have the proper charger.
