dell is having a sale and i have a coupon, thinking of this laptop, any thoughts on it? TIA

of course it will run. if my computer (athlon 64 3000+ and ati firegl 8700) can run this game just fine, so will that laptop.

Yeah, it'll run GW just fine, at high setting with resonable resolution you'll get a decent FPS as well.

Yup, no problem at all with that lappy.

I wonder when people will learn to read the minimum requirements, it'd help prevent these useless +1 posts.

My Vostro has almost the same specs. Mine has the same video card, a 15 inch screen but same resolution (1440x900), a 2 gig core 2 duo processor, 2gb ram and XP home. I usually get 45-60 fps everywhere. The large cities(Lion's Arch) can slow down a little more if there are a lot of players online but you aren't fighting in cities.

The only reason I could see it being slower than mine is if you decided to go with the highest screen resolution option of 1680 x 1050(SXGA+). That would slow the game down more than 1440x900 but you listed the 1440x900(XGA+) so you should be good to go.

Edit - I have been very happy with the computer and it comes with virtually zero bloatware if you don't choose any of it when you are customizing your order.

thank you for constructive response. mods you may close this thread.

I thought Indie posted a while back that if you don't give an answer to a question but just flame someone, don't post.

To the OP you should be just fine.
