Do you get a message when you try to run it, or is it just really slow or something?

A netbook with 2gigs or ram? Pretty good netbook. Specs are usually fine. I could run graal on a P2. It's the graphics card I think you gotta watch out for... and I doubt a netbook, no matter the ram, has very good graphics cards.

Also, emulators run primarily on CPU/ram(as much of the work is emulating/processing the consoles hardware), and rarely rely too much on a good graphics card.

So they're not really that much of a comparison to actual games.

It's not... like I said I could run it on my P2 with 256 ram and an 8mb graphics card... but on more demanding servers like Era and with special effects that can ramp up pretty fast.

I don't understand how this 2D game would require better graphicscards than 10 years ago. Graal ran fine back then on 32-64MB Voodoo cards with my own experience. I don't really see any big difference since then.

That would do just fine. I've ran Graal v4 (I don't think v5 demands more resources) on a old 600 MHz just to try if it worked. It worked fine. Maybe a tad slow, but atleast it started. Laptops has better graphics than that computer. :P

What I think is the biggest thief in the drama is bulky clientside scripts, and/or a lot of them in the same area. If everything was hardcoded it would run faster. :P

It's probably because they needlessly use bits of the torque engine or something. I too find it ridiculous how Graal looked roughly the same about 7 years ago yet requires more. REMINDS ME OF IT'S PRICES LELELEL i kid.

Keep in mind that Graal has changed from a pure 2D game to a 2D game in a 3D engine over the years, so the demands are higher then what it might look like.
