Im running it on a Dell,Inspiron E1505 with P-4,Core 2 Duo 2 gig processor,1 gb Mem,upgraded ATI Radeon x-1400 card with 256 mem.
Just a note FYI-it hiccups a lot when I run off the battery-if Im plugged in its smooth although it seems that when I run an aircraft for the first time,it loads and runs slower and stutters a bit.After that everything speeds up and runs smoother.
You're noticing a performance change because your laptop is "throttling back" the CPU to conserve battery power when you have it unplugged from the AC Adapter. You can change this setting in the power management part of the control panel.
