    Moni33, if your PC is a laptop ( clue the Celeron M ) then you will most likely be out of luck as most dont have the option to add an add-on graphics card to them, so your stuck with onboard graphics, which in your case isnt compatible with the game specs... maybe fine for other games.

    Another reason why I don't like laptops, especially for gaming.

    Even then, you'd have battery life to contend with.

    Until battery technology improves, nothing will change.

    Maybe you wouldn't be, I would.

    to say they are garbage is an ambiguous statment as not everyone will want to play the latest and greatest games, which need a top of the line laptop with high end mobile solutions granted, this is not the case for older games which will play perfectly well on a laptop... I dont have a Alienware or XPS laptop but I can still play Battlefield2, Doom4 etc ok may not be as quick FPS wise as a desktop but gaming comes second place ( or should do ) when choosing to buy a gaming machine as a laptop was always aimed in the direction as in design and marketing as a business PC.. older games will work fine with most laptops so long as your way past the min specs.

    I have money to piss up a rope as you put it so I would be dumb to think of buying a gaming laptop? small note: words like dumb are not used on MGs in general as it implies that a person is dumb for concidering a course of action.
