I am upgrading my laptop so it can run a game called Combat Arms. The requirements to run the game are
Processor speed: 2.4Ghz or better
My processor: Celeron(R) Dual-Core CPU T3000 @ 1.80Ghz
Graphics: Geforce FX 5600 or better
My graphics: Mobile Intel(R) 4 Series Express Chipset Family (284 MB graphics memory)
RAM: 2.00 GB
My RAM (in a few days): 4.00 GB

Can anyone tell me if that will be enough? All help is greatly appreciated.
 
-Your laptop CPU is fine, 1.8 dual core is faster than 2.4.
-Graphics card you can't do anything about, you have an onboard graphics card and you can't upgrade that - sorry. The game requires 256 graphics card, yours is better than that anyways.
-I don't know your computer model, but most laptops are capped at a certain amount. If you have a 32 bit operating system you'll only have 3.5 GB total RAM, minus your 286mb graphics card, so a 32bit operating system will only have a max of around 3.25 GB RAM on your system.
 
So it looks like that laptop will support up to 8 Gig. You have to have a 64 bit operating system for that though, so your's will only support 3.5 Gig RAM total (which includes video). SO minus your video you'll only have a total of 3.25 Gig RAM.

Seems like that is your only limitation.
