Would my Computer work for Spore?!?

i have a mac book pro 15 inch for last Christmas and i want to get spore and idk if i have the requirements? Please help! thanksWould my Computer work for Spore?!?
Spore doesn't really have good graphics, especially on the lowest settings.



My tablet is able to play it on all Medium settings with no lag at all (I never bothered trying high graphics because it works fine and saves battery life), and my tablet has a 1.9GHz AMD Athlon CPU, 3GB of RAM and a Radeon HD 3200, which aren't all that great.



My desktop has an AMD Athlon X2 5000+ 2.6GHz CPU, 4GB of RAM and an 8800GTS 512MB video card, and tears through it with ease.



As I said, the requirements aren't that high because even though it's really pleasing to the eye, the graphics aren't all that great.Would my Computer work for Spore?!?
It should be just fine. Although the display might be a bit small for good gaming, so connect an external monitor if possible.



Also, a separate mouse and keyboard will enhance your experience. No one likes gaming with a crappy touchpad ;)Would my Computer work for Spore?!?
Spore has very low system requirements. You should be able to play it just fine.

Why wont spore for the pc work?

ive installed it and it wont save it to my computer. i have all the requirements met but it still doesnt work. i was wondering if anybody had the solution to the problem... if u could help that would be niceWhy wont spore for the pc work?
If it doesn't work, try updating your videocard drivers. If you want me to tell you how to do this, contact me by email through my profile's page as it's a different procedure depending of the computer you have.

How do I know if my computer has a built-in graphics chipset?

The game spore has two sets of requirements, one for a built-in graphics chipset and one without. How do I know which one i have?How do I know if my computer has a built-in graphics chipset?
The simplest way is to look at the stickers on your laptop or PC.



Failing that, try opening the start window, right click on my computer and go to my properties (keyboard shortcut to here is windows button + pauseBreak key)



click on the hardware tab

then click on device manager.



Go to display adapters.



It should give you a bit of information about it.



If intel is the brand of your graphics card, you are pretty much screwed.



If you enjoy playing games 6 or 7 years old, you MIGHT be able to play SOME of those with an intel GPU. *eyeroll*



I have one on my computer and it can hardly play anything. Age of Empires and Need for Speed Porsche are about it.



Recently I helped a guy choose a new computer for himself and we noticed that virtually all base model intel based laptops - even the ones without the dreadful celeron chipsets - had intel GPUs.



Something to avoid like the plague if you ask me.



We found a computer of roughly equivalent power with an AMD chipset with an added 896MB NVidia graphics card. Seemed decent considering it was only 20 dollars US more.How do I know if my computer has a built-in graphics chipset?
You say: I'm guessing this means I don't have a chipset?

However, you have already found that your chipset IS the NVidia Quadro NVS.

An easy way to find out is to download GPU-z all the infos are there, you didn't tell me which OS you were using.



In start menu go to run, type "dxdiag" (without the quotes), and go to the graphics section,the info should be there.

Why Does spore Run slow on vista... how can i fix it?

i've downloaded spore called up maxis went to the website they recommended completed all the steps they listed, and it freezes or gets all laggy and slow... how can i help to fix this (my requirements to play the game are well above the recommended setting so it ain't that)Why Does spore Run slow on vista... how can i fix it?
i'm not sure. Try to lower graphics? Or turn off your firewall(not recommended) and close extra windows. Log out of Window's messenger or whatever would help alittle.Why Does spore Run slow on vista... how can i fix it?

Starting up with Spore, do you really need internet connections?

alright to i was looking at the system requirements of the game and it seems like i'm all good with it. but when I look at the box it says, "Internet connection needed to activate product" We don't have internet at the moment. Can I still play without internet? please help.Starting up with Spore, do you really need internet connections?
You can play without internet just don't create an online account. I think you just need it to type in your key code.Starting up with Spore, do you really need internet connections?
As part of the craptacular DRM that EA has placed with Spore, you ARE REQUIRED to have an active internet connection for your initial running of Spore.



Without the internet connection, the game will refuse to run properly until that issue is remedied.



If you don't like it, you're out of luck as alternative methods violates the the user agreement or copyright law.

    just so you know that this graphics card is worth about $400-$500. its one of the nividia gtx ranges wich is currently the newest series for nividia. you'll be able to run freakin any game you want with that graphics card. also the 1.8gb is godly.





    ~jelousy~Will spore run on this grapihcs card?
    Yah it should run, the graphics dont need high requirements. I can run it and i cant even run Halo Combat Evolved right... That site from the guy above me is great and virus free by the way.

    Why wont spore work!?

    I downloaded spore, and it wont work. I have all the system requirements, and a windows vista service pack 1.



    Spore doesnt work, when i download it, and insert it in the cd slot, all it does is ask, "Do you want to run spore?" When i click run spore, it just closes and nothing happens

    What should I do?Why wont spore work!?
    The demo doesn't work but if you buy the game download it click start then games then click on Spore (P.S. BEST GAME EVER!!!!!!!!!!!)
