    If you can run Company of Heroes that way (on your desktop computer I assume), then you can play M2TW.
    M2 worked for me on my Laptop, which is 2-3 years old and it has no chance of playing CoH.
    At least, that's what I think. You'll have to compare the system requirements.

    Actually a better thing to do is try the demo.
    If you can run it pretty well(medium settings) then you should get it.

    IMHO, I would say that M2TW would be suicide on a laptop with 248 megs of ram. I would recommend getting previous entries in the TW series. I personally have a 2-3 year old PC barely wheezing along with M2TW and CoH

    I'de go with the Eras package. It's close to the cost of M2Tw only 10-15 dollars more. You get all the games + expansions. Plus M2TW probably wouldn't run on your computer.
