Will my comp run it?

-HP Pavilion dv2000
-Intel Core 2 Duo CPU 1.83 GHZ
-Mobil Intel 965Express Chipset Family
I really wanna play this game but I just looked at the min specs and I don't think I match them. I suck at comps so I came here and asked.

You can't switch cards on a laptop, plus the CPU isn't good enough either. Laptops aren't built for games, unless you spend alot.

re: Will my comp run it?

Wow, that just sucks, so flat out I can't play it or is it possible if I play it on very low settings. I'm able to play COD 2 on this XD

COD2 on Low/med i assume. You might get away with low, but then this game looks so good it'd be a waste of money frankly.

I hate this Laptop, first Fallout 3 then this. Man, I can't play this even with low settings, everything that you don't need turned off, and running it on windows mode?

re: Will my comp run it?

You tried Fallout 3 on that? Windowed mode doesn't really make much difference.

re: Will my comp run it?

hehe, yeah. Now i'm about to be stuck with two great games that I am not able to play. Oh well, thank you for your help. Maybe next time I should ask others what they think of a laptop before buying it.

Yeah I'm afraid that laptop is alright for most things except gaming.

Oh well, for the next month or so, I will be trying to earn money for the Alien wire Area 51 notebook. Claims to be for gamers.

re: Will my comp run it?

Maybe you should tell me the specs of that before getting it, think you need to do a bit of research about laptop/PC specs. Sorry if im wrong but you don't really seem to have any clue what any of them mean.

re: Will my comp run it?

Alienware laptops are built for gaming. As long as he gets even the most basic specs on one, he should be ok. Of course, if he can afford better specs, then by all means he should get them.

I am using an Alien laptop to write this as I speak. I routinely play games as demanding as Bioshock, GTA4, and Far Cry 2 with the settings cranked up, so it is completely possible with the right equipment.

One side note, however, and this is where TheComedyGuy has a point. I have a beefed up laptop so the basic specs (as I mentioned above) won't do as well as mine. It would still run most games, but at lower settings. Something to keep in mind before spending the money.
