Basically any modern Graphics card will have "Shader 3" They tend to come in two main types Nvidia and ATI Radeon, I prefer the former but just check with the salesperson (or spec sheet) that the card has Shader 3 capability - I'd be surprised if it didn't nowadays.
An i3 processor may be enough but I'd go for i5 minimum. i7 is overkill for your needs I suspect.]]> Tue, 09 Sep 2014 21:20:24 GMT http://www.muvizu.com/Forum/topic3812-wanted-the-lightest-about-1-kilo-netbook.aspx Message from gracemaker primaveranz wrote:
I'd be surprised if it worked, it doesn't have a dedicated graphics card and the i3 chip is probably not powerful enough.

where can one see a list of dedicated graphic cards that is most suitable for muvizu?
also, based on your comment, anything higher than "i3 chip" is better?]]> Tue, 09 Sep 2014 21:13:02 GMT http://www.muvizu.com/Forum/topic3812-wanted-the-lightest-about-1-kilo-netbook.aspx Message from primaveranz Sun, 07 Sep 2014 21:28:29 GMT http://www.muvizu.com/Forum/topic3812-wanted-the-lightest-about-1-kilo-netbook.aspx Message from ziggy72 Sun, 07 Sep 2014 17:20:48 GMT http://www.muvizu.com/Forum/topic3812-wanted-the-lightest-about-1-kilo-netbook.aspx Message from gracemaker MrDrWho13 wrote:
That laptop looks like it should work, but expect lag because Muvizu relies heavily on the graphics card/chip and this one only has a small amount of dedicated memory for graphics.


thank you. would one be able to buy an extra dedicated memory and input it into this laptop? (sorry if that is a stupid question)]]> Sun, 07 Sep 2014 17:01:22 GMT http://www.muvizu.com/Forum/topic3812-wanted-the-lightest-about-1-kilo-netbook.aspx Message from MrDrWho13 Sun, 07 Sep 2014 16:50:09 GMT http://www.muvizu.com/Forum/topic3812-wanted-the-lightest-about-1-kilo-netbook.aspx Message from gracemaker would this notebook be suitable for muvizu, why or why not?

This sort of thing looks reasonable for specs, but weighs 2.1kg according to google.


thank you. i found the same computer twice in my area, but one pre-installed with windows vista, and another with windows xp. which one one of these would run muvizu?]]> Sun, 07 Sep 2014 13:30:42 GMT http://www.muvizu.com/Forum/topic3812-wanted-the-lightest-about-1-kilo-netbook.aspx Message from gracemaker ziggy72
MrDrWho13

i found your recommended notebook in my local area,
"DELL XPS M1330 Laptop 13.3" 1.83GHz/3GB/250GB NVidia Geforce"

but instead of windows 7, i found it has been pre-installed with Windows Vista Home Premium;

and another listing, i found the same computer, preinstalled with windows XP.

my new question, would this same recommended computer, by you both, run muvizu, even if the windows being used is either windows xp or windows vista home premium?]]> Sun, 07 Sep 2014 13:29:10 GMT http://www.muvizu.com/Forum/topic3812-wanted-the-lightest-about-1-kilo-netbook.aspx Message from ziggy72 Sun, 07 Sep 2014 12:21:16 GMT http://www.muvizu.com/Forum/topic3812-wanted-the-lightest-about-1-kilo-netbook.aspx Message from MrDrWho13 http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/DELL-XPS-M1330-Laptop-13-3-1-83GHz-3GB-250GB-NVidia-Geforce-Good-Condition-/251631666618?pt=UK_Computing_Laptops_EH&hash=item3a966a85ba

You'll need something that is designed for windows 7 or newer, with a dedicated graphics chip.
