Can my laptop handle Doom 3?
I don't do much gaming on my computer, but I've always loved playing Doom since the early 90s. I haven't played it in many years, so I decided to try the free demo version on my new laptop. It's Toshiba Satellite with Vista home premium, dual-core T2310, 1 gb ram, and 1.46 GHz.
Doom runs a little too slow as is, so I'd like to know how much upgrading I would have to do. Do you think simply adding another gb ram would do it?

Re: Can my laptop handle Doom 3?
well if you can give us your gpu specs as well (http://www.techpowerup.com/gpuz/) try this one to detect your gpu
and with vista it is always a good thing to have 1.5gb of ram or up (2gb optimal) give me your gpu specs and for the Ram:yes hope that helped  also what detail do you play in High or ultra? unless you are play in a really high res then high looks no different from ultra at all turn shadows off as well for a less scary game and much better fps (DOOM3 is very scary  )

Re: Can my laptop handle Doom 3?
Hey, thanks for replying and the link. Here are my stats. I thought it would be easier to just do a screen shot.
 I don't guess I need ultra resolution, but yea Doom is very scary. It makes me want my mommy :o. But that's what I like about it. I like to play it late at night when I'm alone, so I'd probably want to keep the shadows on.

Re: Can my laptop handle Doom 3?
hmm well u havent not really got a top notch card
 its not super fast since it an integrated Intel GPU Intel GPU's like to share with Ram so an RAM upgrade is still recommend check in your bios and you may be able to enable more RAM to be used since 8mb of vidram is very very low and you will struggle to get decent fps also i have herd of being able to install 3rd party GPU on laptops but is can be very Risky and is not recommended try turning off spectacular and/or bump (this makes it look really ugly tho) dont enable AA.
