Hi, everyone!

Well I'm thinking about a new laptop but i don't know anything about computers my question is will this laptop run halo 2 vista?

Heres the specs:

Microprocessor
2.00 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo Processor T5800
Microprocessor Cache
2 MB L2 Cache
Memory
4096 MB
Memory Max
8192MB

I'm not buying it to play games but might play a few halo 2 being one if anyone could let me know id appreciate it!

not a 100% but i think it can handle halo 2. If you plan to play anything newer than halo 2 your system probobly wont be up to spec. and graphics cards arent exactly something you can just switch out in most laptops

OK, but don't expect that laptop to be tremendous at games - you might even have to play Halo 2 at reduced settings. The Intel graphics, while excellent for battery life and just basic productivity tasks, are somewhat of a joke when it comes to gaming.

integrated graphics are not good for gaming, thats why the make Video Cards, an integrated video card will let you play games but no with high settings.

I think this thread should be in the laptop section.

The Intel Graphics Media Accelerator X4500 is not going to let you run even halo 2 at high settings. You need something more along the lines of a 9400M GT, or 9600M GT.

If you go to the laptop section and fill out the sticky at the top people will give you a few suggestions as to what to get :)

yeah, i have gma, it's terrible. at first it's not bad, some games run well, but you get sick of knocking everything back to 2001 visuals.
