Championship Manager 2010 on Dell Inspiron

Options
Hi - I'm new to the board and wondered if anyone can help me please? I'm just about to buy a new Dell Inspiron 15 laptop. It's one of the 4Gb models but I need to know if I'll be able to play Championship manager on it or other such football sim games please?

I'm struggling to see from searching myself and guess that Dell will simply recommend a graphics card update when I order but I was keen to see if this was actually necessary to save money if possible. All help and advice gratefully received.

Thanks.

  • Championship Manager 2010 and Football Manager 2009 both run fine on my Toshiba laptop with integrated graphics

    The Inspiron 15 is currently available with either Intel GMA 4500MHD integrated or ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4330 discrete graphics, but neither is really meant for gaming. How much were you planning on spending? If you can stretch your budget a little you could get a Studio 15 with a Radeon HD 4570 instead.

    Championship Manager 2010 System Requirements:
    Operating System: XP with Service pack 2 or Vista
    Processor: Intel 3GHz P4 or dual core intel / AMD equivalent
    Memory: 1Gb
    Graphics: Direct X 9 compatible. 128 Mb nVidia FX5600, ATi Radeon 9800 or equivalent
    Soundcard: Direct X 9.0c compatible
    Hard Drive: 3Gb + additional space required for CM Season Live™
