Well, the games you mention will "run"; how well is questionable?

For future reference, you have an HD 4570, which meets the minimum requirements of the games you listed, but, know in advance that it's a budget/low end card, so high settings are not going to be an option with new titles.

Also, you know how it goes with that whole, "game experience may change" clause that developers are fond of... patches usually bring greater demands.

I can tell you that Bad Company 2 is more demanding than when first released, which is making dual core guys none too happy.

That's not what I said. It will run the games you mentioned, just don't expect to be able to run them at high settings.

Laptops just aren't made for hardcore gaming. If you want to run modern games at high resolutions with high settings, then you should build yourself a gaming machine because a laptop is never going to be able to give you the same kind of performance... no matter who makes it and how much it costs.

Hi Jordi,

Yeah, 2.3GHz is going to be pushing it a little. May I ask how much RAM you've got? You should be able to run these games on minimal settings and have minimal lag, but there are no guarantees.

Thanks,

In a word... No.

64 megabytes of graphics memory, and 1.5 gigs of RAM won't cut it for most games, and it can barely run Aero.
You could probably PLAY the game, but it probably will not be the most enjoyable experience. Turn it down to LOWEST graphics settings possible, and try to avoid watching explosions.

How do you have shared video memory AND dedicated memory?
Never heard of that before.

This,

is what he is looking at.

And to give an idea of what that Mobility 4570 is capable of,

Notebookcheck: AMD ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4570

As said games like BFBC2 should run, but it will be at all low (and those that have the option, off) and even then don't be surprised if it doesn't run too well.
