I am looking at getting this laptop. it as 4 gb of ram an ati 4200 vid card with an amd x2 processor. Pretty cool machine especially for the price. Should i be ok for the game. I am one of the few people around here who likes the game, probably because i am a very casual gamer.:)

    the processor mite be cutting it close ( from the models I see online) but you should be fine, and you should have no problems. ( granted you are not going to be able to play on high. well you can but you will get some lag. ) if you can get a faster processor. ( if your model is the one with the 2GHz ) by upgrading for a little bit more, that I would do that if it is in your budge.
    hope this helps

    despite claims otherwise by ATI, the X200 series of on board chipsets ( not a graphics card ) are not gaming processors. They do have sx10.1 capability and are quite capable HD video players but as for gaming? No they are a 2D business display processor built in to laptops for affordability.

    I don't dobt the game will run. I expect that to get any acceptable frame rate you will be forced to run it with every graphics option turned down to minimum.

    Laptops rarely have good gaming graphics processors and when they do you pay good money for it.
