    Will my laptop be able to run MW2?
    Hi everyone, the min system requirements are


    OS: Microsoft Windows XP, Windows Vista and Windows 7 (Windows 95/98/ME/2000 are unsupported)

    Processor: Intel Pentium 4 3.2 GHz or AMD Athlon 64 3200+ processor or better supported

    Memory: 1 GB RAM

    Graphics: 256 MB NVIDIA GeForce 6600GT or better or ATI Radeon 1600XT or better


    My laptop has a core i5 processor ~2.5GHz, with 4GB RAM. The only thing letting it down I think is the graphics card as I have intel HD graphics, will it be able to play or not?

    Thank you.

    Well you could like the people on youtube.
    This is what i've found http://www.notebookcheck.net/Compute...s.13849.0.html

    low med high
    58 16 12

    Those are frame rates, so low settings will be fine and decent, the next step is where your going to lag a bit.

    I highly doubt it, I can barely play Minecraft on min settings on a Core i5, 4GB RAM and Intel GPU...

    I've heard minecraft is more CPU intensive (refreshing actions, ticks etc.) and so I'm not surprised. My i5 2500K will probably beast it even with my AMD GPU disabled
    I thought it was more cpu and ram intensive, especially the ram bit
