It'll be difficult to run MW2 on your laptop since an HD 3200 card isn't exactly awesome for gaming. If you're really interested in playing MW2 or any current releases, I'd suggest buying a decent desktop. Upgrading graphic cards on laptops is no easy task, and it's impossible with your laptop since the GPU is integrated to the MB.

Your HP can't have a video card installed, and the current one is a low end integrated solution barely able to handle modern games. Welcome to the world of gaming on a system not meant to game.

Nope its just not enough! U need atleast a HD 4000 series card for a smooth performance!

I think I am starting to feel my age. I was going to jump in here and say heck I played MW2 (Mech Warrior 2) on my Cyrix 166+ rig with an ATI Mach 32 ISA video card, and was smooth as can be. Guess that answer would be a little dated......

Unfortunately most of this crowd would have no idea what you are talking about... Cyrix, ISA, 166, vesa driver?
Did you get your AARP card yet

I run MW2 with everythnig maxxed out with no problems. It is by far the smoothest game of the current generation out there.

kevkevle, your CPU is an AMD (their current mobile cpus are ***) and the GPU isn't a dedicated card, bro, its integrated (that basically means it cant process 3-D grapihcs, wasnt built for that).

To make it simple to impress upon u the extent of the weakness of ure compnents, imagine that Gaming on PC's is like racing in cars - and with ure AMD CPU and integrated GPU, ure tring to enter Formula 1 or Nascar with a Tricycle...

Your laptop wasn't built with the purpose of gaming, man...
