Illiad86 Posted July 2, 2010 Share Posted July 2, 2010 Oblivion has no support for Intel graphics. I don't think it will even load up. May I ask how much it is? I wouldn't pay anymore than $400 for that...it's good for regular things like going on the Internet and watching videos, but it will die trying to play a game.

_frost_ Posted July 2, 2010 Share Posted July 2, 2010 My first impression; I would say no.1. Slow CPU2. Slow GPU 3. Shared memory is never a good thing. You'll have a serious performance-issue cause CPU and GPU are using the same resources.6 cells... +2 then I wouldn't say anything.3 GB RAM, well 1GB is needed by your 64bit OS _frost_ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't play games on a regular laptop. Thats what desktops and gaming laptops are for, and gaming laptops are $1k+. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pronam Posted July 2, 2010 Share Posted July 2, 2010 VIDEO CARD Intel Graphics Media Accelerator X4500HDYep, you're in trouble. it's the worst joke they ever pulled on us. That card is horrible, some games (Like fallout3 for instance) don't even start without tweaks. Be sure to have a nvidia or ati card on it...that way you're more secure of being capable of playing games than this worthless card. HD videos! yes it can play them quite well! Running games!?....well...sigh...If you're crazy enough to buy a laptop be ready to get disappointed, they can never beat a pc + the fact you can never upgrade them like PCs. (Just the ram and nifty features.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
