i think you can probably play it on low/lowest settings.

Hmm alright well Ill try it then, can I upgrade the videocard on it? Or upgrade anything else on it? I dont know if the sound or video is onboard

 

[Peter.Cort]

you can really only upgrade the ram without risking serious harm to the laptop.

Hmm ok I guess Ill upgrade the ram, any suggestions?
Well I mean what Ram is compatible, and would it be hard to upgrade the videocard?

Can You RUN It?

Try that with HL2

But I'm not sure because you didn't list a GPU on that List..

On laptops they are soldered on, so they are hard to upgrade without replacing the whole Mobo

thanks for that link, I passed with flying colors

 

[veg1992]

Seriously?

May I ask what GPU you did have?

 

[monster12348]

is that the computer speed? I think it was 1.9

GPU = Graphics Processing Unit or Video Card

You're thinking CPU
