Pentium(R)Dual-Core CPU T4200 @2.00GHz
Moble Iel(R) 4 Series Express Chipset Familyis that everything??if not,just tell e what else to do wth a brief explaination..thanks

intel graphics, they won't run games.

nearly all new games need offboard gfx cards, motherboard chipsets don't cut it

There's your problem.
Onboard graphics chipsets totally suck.

you can't get a new one, you have a laptop.

ooohhh..well i have a tower too,but it only has like 500 b ram,im thinking of buying like 2 gigs of ram,and wich graphic chip would you get for that one??

cant tell you without knowing the rest of the spec for it.

well...i don have a moniter right now,which is why i was trying to use my laptop,my 1'200$ laptop to be ore specific,and it wont place the latest games...as my as i paid for the piece of crap it shold be fire-proof,break-proof,and virus-proof...but thats just my opinion..

...try the command prompt "dxdiag".It will bring up system specs.Also-my laptop can play devil may cry 4 on medium with a decent 40FPS-but that's on the direct x 9 version.If I do 10-it will be smoother but the game will run at half pace (like a slow-mo replay).Is yours running DX 9 or 10-my laptop could do it-and your specs are close to mine.

that is relatively cheap as high spec laptops go, and not even the $3,000 ones can play games properly.

Desktop always the best when you want to play this kind of game :)

well... hows about you just tell me which graphic chips,sound cards ect. you would reccomend for me to play games on my tower(destop)

I need to know what the desktop spec is so that I can recommend compatible hardware.

I don't think he knows how since you've asked twice now for the desktop spec.

Replying to #18

yea i do know...but i kinda forgot i asked the first time so yea...ill get my pc specs to you once i get another moniter.

get a better cpu, video/graphics card and sound card... all those together will make the game run flawlessly
