I wonder if everytime ill be away from home and using this laptop, if I'll be able to play anything besides Tetris.
Even on minimum settings.. will I be able to play some Warhammer zergs without the pc getting on fire? Or some Lotr? EQ2? Aion or something? Sounds bit stupid but the fact is that I'm not really playing any of this games on a regular basis but sometimes I do and dont wanna to start feeling the smell of burned components while doing so... or if they will even run on this machine.
cheers all... and sorry for my ignorance but I draw, paint, scultures and that kind of stuff. So I'm 100% ignorant about pcs, I just install some games and click the launch shoortcuts

You will be able to run most games on normal settings. oh and GZ for the new laptop
Maybe for WAR you will need to lower the settings a bit.
You have smaller cores than me, but twice the ram and a much more updated graphics card.
And i can run Aion, Warhammer online, all those at maxed out settings (except lightning and those uneedy things)
Lotro i can deal with everything maxed out without any real issues.
*edit* Nvm,just noticed you have 256mb on your graph card. That could bring some issues playing on higher settings. *end of transmission*
Heck, crysis on high settings worked like a charm
Congratulations on your new lappy.
The speed of the mole and the power of steel is my weapon
should run majority of older mmos. My laptop similar spec (except uses ATI Chip) and can run following:
City of heroes
WOW
EQ2 (gotta really play with settings)
DAOC
Eve online
All Guild Wars
Lineage 1 and 2
SWG
I would also give the following, though these may not work (My ATI Driver doesnt like em, maybe nvidia will)
LOTRO
WAR
D&D Online
Hope this helps and rem to help speed up things download latest drivers and defrag your drive.
heh cool stuff
Cheers all for the answers... kudos
The graphic card on that laptop sucks. I'd say you'll be able to play WoW, and possibly Lotro, but I'm not sure about any newer games. But besides the graphic card, it's a nice computer.
