Touhou on Thinkpad T400

[Alice]

So, next Monday my new T400 will arrive on my desk, will it run Touhou smoothly?
Maybe some of members already have T400 and have some experiences to share with me.
My Thinkpad configuration will be:

Intel? Core™2 Duo Processor P8400 (2.26 MHz, FSB 1066, Cache 3 MB)
Chipset   Intel 45GM
2 GB DDR3 SDRAM PC-8500
ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3470 256 MB
14.1" WXGA LED
1440 x 900
250 GB Serial ATA 5400 RPM
Microsoft Windows Vista Business

ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3470 256 MB

This is what will guarantee that all touhou games run 100% in your notebook.

Thanks, that made me feel confidence to run Touhou. But how about Intel GMA4500? T400 has switchable graphics between ATi and Intel.

Not quite sure about it

My notebook has a C2D 1.73Ghz and a GM965 and it runs all touhou games up to PoFV at constant 60fps

MoF, SA and UFO slow down to 30~40 fps when there are glowing bullets
GMA4500 is definitely better, but I can't guarantee it will run at 60fps.
Maybe someone else can answer this? =)

I already tested UFO on my T400 with Intel GMA4500, it can run UFO smoothly at 60 fps, when bullet heavy, the frame rate dropped to ~ 58 fps. I think it is still acceptable.

Have fun with your notebook!
