Just bought Assassin's Creed II (slowpoke, I know), but it's running really bad on my computer. The characters are done talking way before their mouths are, it's all really jumpy and laggy, and it's all really frustrating. I am on a laptop, so updating my computer won't work, but I really didn't think my laptop was quite that crappy.

Is my computer really so bad it can't even run a game that is a year older than it is, or is there another problem that can be thought of?

To answer your question honestly. Yes your computer is bad for gaming. The year a computer was bought/made means nothing in regards to pc gaming. When trying to find a computer that can play games at a decent frame per second the most important factor is the GPU, then the CPU. Your rocking integrated graphics which is notorious for not being able to play games well.
