My Laptop had Ubuntu Linux i know that there are linux version of KSP, i prefer my desktop but it's cpu cooling failed :(

My ASUS K50I Had only on 1 GM ram, it has 512 MB of NVIDIA CUDA GPU but i wonder does is enough to run KSP, i want some gamig (speaking honest i would want play Europa Universalis 4 (i love playing spian) i wonder does is Linux version of EU1,2,3;-), i bought some cool dlc at super cool discount price but it's not have linux version and i bet it would not run one 1 GB ram.

Anyboy know how much cost RAM for ASUS?

But retuning to subject does my laptop i bought it mainly to typing during lectures could run KSP???

That laptop is a little underpowered for KSP. The GPU memory is kind of low and your main killer is the 1GB of RAM. Although stock KSP will probably work OK, you will not be able to install many (or any) mods with the game with that little amount of memory.

RAM varies in cost. No one can give you an exact price without knowing the type of RAM you will need. My guess, for a laptopm RAM usually cost about $30-40~ bucks or so. Maybe less depending on if that's an older laptop with smaller memory requirements. If you want the ultimate KSP experience, I think you should build a decent desktop. Gaming on laptops isn't that great.

if you do manage to get it going on your laptop, its performance will be pretty shoddy. If you're determined, tho, just turn down all the graphics settings, including light probes, etc, and you may be able to get some small ships into orbit.

If it were my computer, I'd look to upgrade soon.

I've ran KSP on Acer 5755G (i7), and Acer 4755G (i5), both with similar video cards (nVidia GT540M) and similar memory (8 gig ram). The only problem with the 4755G was the fact that there was a lot of stuttering or moments with very low FPS, compared with the 5755G. According to a tech, it was because the video card in the 4755G was more prone to overheating compared to the 5755G. But overall, KSP worked well.
