@Just_Gone_Simmin - The processor on that one is a little iffy because it is U-series, designed to conserve power (electricity/battery) not play games where it needs to be ramped up to higher speeds than its native 1.8 GHz continuously. Its true weak spot though is its graphics card - that's a pretty low level card and not really meant for graphics intensive games. Player experiences vary on hardware that just misses the target specs, but I would say that you might be able to run the entire game on it to some extent, though possibly the heaviest hitting EPs (Pets, Seasons, maybe IP and ITF) might be too much for it. Graphics settings all on high might not be realistic on it.
It should be noted that although IP typically gets ranked as 3 or 4 out of the 11 EPs on performance hits, the Isla Paradiso world itself needs to be fixed up before it becomes playable on just about any system. The world is design-flawed, and much of the poor reputation that EP gets is due to just that, not necessarily the impact the EP has when playing a world without the design issues.
