You can add RAM to laptops.

theyr'e all high end games. you'll either need to change the on the game to the lowest, or you can try more ram but that's not going to increase the frame rate much. you basically lack a good video card. inspiron 1501 has a basic video card.

My advice would be to go into your video card settings and change how it handles direct 3d. Many ATI cards are set for Quality over performace by default in this area. Ensure its balanced between both in your card settings. Also for cards like yours make sure you are not using Antialiasing or Texture filtering settings over Trilinear. All advanced shader API's will kill frame rates. So ensure Lighting is set to Low or off. And same with special effects and shadows. This will get things running faster.

It may help to decrease the video resolution or color depth. Try right-clicking on the screen (besides on one of the icons), choosing Properties, and then choosing Settings. You may have some options there.

probably RAM would be your best shot.
