oh man i would have hoped u were wrong but u were right.....the thing i can upgrade the laptop ram to 2 gigs but im stuck with the crappy videocard cause its integrated to the motherboard........no MTW2 4 me crap!

my only option is to buy a new pc......but i guess ill beter make one from scratch and buy the part separately ........what is the best video card under 300 bucks thats made by Nvidia??? and wich processor should i buy pentium 4 or pentium core DUO?.......anyway thanks in the meantime ill guess the only thing i could play is the crusades mod if its finished someday ...i hope cause thats actually the closest thing to MDTW2 .....and the only thing my laptop can handle right now.... anyway thanks

pentium core duo is better but Core 2 Duo is way better. The best graphics card for under $300 american from tigerdirect.com is...

I think I am going to go with a XFX GeForce 7600 GT XXX 256MB GDDR3 instead because it is cheap and DX10 is coming soon so I don't want to spend too much money. How well do you think it will run on my system?

XFX GeForce 7600 GT XXX 256MB GDDR3
3.2 Ghz Pentium 4 800mhz FSB 1MB l2 Cache HT 541
3gigs of 533 ram. 2x512mb an 2x1g

Do you think that this should be able to run M2TW at 1280 x 1024 at high settings except shadows? Maybe max at 1280 x 1024? I hope so.
