my laptop can run the beta alright, though i haven't tried a 10-player map or anything.

P4 3Ghz
1GB RAM (shared with video card)
Mobility Radeon 9000 (your x200 is the next more recent generation so you should actually have better performance)

If you have ~1GB RAM and are running XP, I think you'll be able to run the game at least on smaller maps and lower graphics settings.

How many MB of memory does your Mobility Radeon have? I have a Mobility Radeon 9700 w/ 64 MB. I meet or exceed all of the other specs. Do you think I would be able to run the game?

My laptop is very similar. It also have your video card.

You can play Sins. I would stick to 6 or less players on small maps. Everything is on Low tho , no effects and 1024 resolution.

Framerates around 20-30fps. In battles it can get as low as 12-15 tho.
