Sounds like your best bet is going to be clearing off some stuff from the Win 7 machine so you have the space. Uninstall some programs, move media to a different computer/external HD, clear out your temp files, can all potentially free up space. If you have a bunch of media, considering upgrading your HD.

I recently cleaned up a workstation with over 6 GB of data just in the recycle bin with another 8 GB in the temp files that had accumulated over 1 month which I know because a script clears it out every 30 days. Yes sir, that is the reason that your 80 GB SSD is telling you that it's full and performing slower.

Yea Iceman, I just made it to Inferno and all I have to say is get ready! LOL.

My first SATA optical drive was a Blu-ray burner I bought this year

I completely missed that its a laptop. Definitely check the specs as its more likely that the video card is the problem. The only thing is, my D3 installed fine on that old computer with just the integrated video. It was only after it installed that it failed to run, and it ran fine with a new video card and no reinstall of the game.

well one is a laptop, yea. but im trying it on a desktop too. the desktop is xp. laptop is 7.
the desktop seemed to have plenty of hd space and all the requirements, but stayed stuck on 0 or 1% when installing. ill have to download directx 9.0 update thing and see if i can find what kind of video card i have.

JARblue · 05-29-2012, 05:24 PM

anybody else see that someone in korea already beat D3

i will probably play d3 later on, i'm going to let it settle in for a bit. i'm not overly competitive about it, so i'm kinda bleh about getting a new game right now.

i'm saving up for MechWarrior Online and Guild Wars 2 now.

Holy... I remember playing MechWarrior back in elementary school rofl! Didn't know they were coming out with another one... Might have to check that out. Back on topic, is D3 worth getting? Saw a few of my friends play it, but it didn't intrigue me as much as D2 did, probably because things like PvP and end game items still arn't released. We will have to see. I have high hopes and expectations for Blizzard.

Everything you list there meets the min requirements except that I don't see a video card listed. If you're running off the built-in motherboard chip then that may be your problem.

What is "2051mb available"?
Also, you have what would typically be considered a single CPU but with 2 cores - not "2cpu's". It is a very nice CPU despite its age, and will more than provide solid performance for D3. I came close to purchasing the 8500/8600 many times before I finally purchased my AMD Phenom X4 for half the price.
