Will GW work for this notebook?

Hi there, I'm thinking of getting a laptop to take to school and thus I would leave my PC behind at home. Save to say, the playability of Guildwards will be a big factor in my purchase, so I am curious to see if this laptop would run it:

AMD Turion 64 1.6 Ghz
14" WXGA high-definition widescreen
60GB hard drive (4200 rpm)
128MB ATI RADEON XPRESS 200M IGP shared graphics
512KB on die Level 2
System BUS 1600MHz
512MB PC2700 DDR

I'm not overly computer literate, but enough to know shared graphics is bad. But I'm not huge on having to have the game on the best settings, just if the playability is still there at a good speed. Any thoughts or suggestions on a better laptop in that price range? Thanks.

Yes. The integrated video is pretty marginal, but it will still be able to scrape by(just without all the eyecandy). Heres a halfway decent chart for relative performance of mobile video chipsets.

What do you think performance will be like on low setting for the graphics? I was also thinking of upgrading the memory to 1gig, so with that in consideration, would I be able to say pvp in tombs and not lag? Guess that is my biggest concern, not losing an edge in my pvp play from getting a notebook instead of a pc.

Don't hold me to this (since I haven't actually used the mobile version of this chipset), but with the relatively closely related x300se I was able to play competetively at lower resolutions. Admittedly, my processor was a bit faster, which may have compensated some. If you are planning to buy from BB, the good news is that if you aren't happy with it you can always return it.

Here are a few more words and benchmarks on this chipset (through the next 3 or 4 pages):

If you are really stuck on getting a Turion (and I can see why you would be - they are great mobile chips), you might to look at Acer -- they are about the only big OEM to have a good-sized product line featuring them AND have decent GPU options (x700, etc.).

I have a laptop with a 64MB X300 Mobility chip and it runs GW fine - I have turned some of the eyecandy off, but in general it looks and plays well. So if your 128 200 is close in game performance, I would think it would be okay.
