    My computer is not very good but can run most modern games on low settings. It's just the laptop I use for school and that stuff so can someone tell me if this game will run decently on my computer? Sorry if this is a nub question, but the hardware side of computers has always confused me. 
     
    My specs are:
    Gateway NV44 
    1 Gig Mobile Intel 4 Series Express Chipset Family
    3 Gigs DDR2 RAM
     
    Also can I upgrade this? I can take apart and find myself around a desktop decently but I am very much in the dark on laptops.
     
    Thanks for any help!

    You might get multiplayer slowdown. You absolutely can run it on lowest specs. Start there then try upping the resolution, upping the texture, shadows etc. one at a time until you get lack then pull back and you've got the game set up as ideal as its going to get.

    @EternalDarkWing: haha that thing says I can't run games I can run fine (dirt 2, bad company 2) solely based on my slightly outdated processor which the GPU more than makes up for ^^ 
    always good to know my 4 year old toaster is still current!

    Well it's all relative, really. it at least gives a basic idea of what you can expect instead of trying to judge for yourself.

    I said this in another topic, but I think the Intel 4 series GPU can run games, not on medium or high settings though. And what is your computer's CPU?
