Intel® Pentium™ SU4100 1.3GHz (2MB Cache) that is what it has.... or O could put an Intel® Core™2 Duo SU7300 1.3GHz (3MB Cache) for an extra $100

These are the minimum requirements....

Basically what you need to run the game on the lowest settings...

i know that......i want to run it on highest, is that alienwere laptop gonna help me play on highest settings....

To give you an idea of what is needed, and I obviously don't have the best setup in the forums...

Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit
AMD Phenom II x4 955BE @3.71ghz
8gb DDR2 1000 RAM
ATI Radeon 4870 1gb @ 1920x1200 w/ 27.5" Hanspree LCD
Sound Blaster X-Fi Xtremegamer
2TB of HD space

I can max out all of the details, AA and AF settings, view distances, etc and having a playable framerate around 45-60fps.

You build a cheap comp you get cheap and lacking performance. I think it's been reiterated a few times already. Secondly, any serious gamer would never look to buying a laptop to play anything. Alienware has a few high end models that would handle most games with ease, but they cost a premium.

In short, a sub $500 laptop, let alone a sub-$1000 laptop will never be sufficient to max out the details in this game. An E-machine or any other bargain model is not going to let you max settings on this or any other more recent game.

Most serious gamers either spend alot on a prebuilt, or build their own comps. There is no easy way around this, sorry.

what about an alienwere desktop, will that be better than an alienwere laptop?
