!!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! Not quite as good as DiRT Rally but still a ton of fun. Humble Bundle is a great way to get awesome deals on PC games and some of the proceeds go to charity.

I wish my computer didn’t suck. I guess I’ll play with the real rally car tonight then lol

My computer doesn’t meet the specs but I’m definitely going to make a steam account.

DiRT 3 is pretty old at this point and recommends a Phenom 2 and Radeon 6000 graphics for optimal experience. It will probably work fine on just about anything. And its free so you can’t loose.

What are you running these days which doesn’t beat a 5 year old Pentium D?

The RAM isn’t an issue and my GPU barely meets the requirement. It’s the CPU. The MBA has an i5 but it’s only 1.3 GHz

Those low power CPUs used in the MBA turbo like a boss. That combined with the hyperthreaded cores in the modern i5 put it well past the old pentium. Before I bought my current laptop I used to do all my gaming on an i3 2310m with HD3000 graphics.

I would just feel uncomfortable pushing it hard.

Don’t worry about the clock speed. We really haven’t had any MHz gains in a decade or so, but plenty of performance gains. Hell, my laptops have gone 2.6GHz->2GHz->1.3GHz->900MHz, and have gotten faster every step of the way.
Don’t worry about overstressing it either, the chip knows how hot it is running and will speed up if it has the headroom or slow down to protect itself as needed.

So clock speed isn’t an issue? I just sort of assumed it was.

Not at all. It’s asking for a 2.8GHz Pentium D, but even the slowest Core 2 Duo (from 2006) would beat that (on a per-clock basis, the Pentium 4 was a very bad processor). An i5 should have no trouble, even at the low clock of an ultraportable.

I suppose I could try.
My laptop was awesome when it came out...in 2008.

It’ll be fun seeing if the game works on my MacBook
