I have a Toshiba laptop with Intel core 2 duo (1.6ghz), 2 gig memory, 120 gig harddrive, but the problem is the intel 945 gma. Whats the verdict? Thanks in advance

With a laptop, I doubt it. With most laptops, the graphics cards tend to be real weak. Main reason being that they kill battery life, which explains why laptops don't have high-powered graphics cards found in desktops.

No. And you can't upgrade the video processor because the 945 is embedded into the sysen board, as are 90% of portables video controllers. You could upgrade your laptop to one made for gaming, like an Alienware. But that will still be marginal and nowhere as good as a desktop.

nope, I don't think so. Your Ram is good but you should upgrade your graphic card! Laptops are not made for gaming. Maybe in the lowest details and resolution but I don't think so. Upgrade your graphic card to nVidia GeForce 7+.

Hey Dude,
Best advice, laptops are not made for gaming, period. If it works, you are lucky. Video cards are ALWAYS the culprit.
