I would advise against it.

for amd cards 6600 6700 are the minimum to play at a decent fps on decent quality (high) at low (1366*768) to medium (1600*900) res

for nvidia its the gt 540m. gt 550m gt 555m

I have both the games and I can tell you that ETW will probably run and S2TW Im unsure of.

I mean what is one's definition of run?

Will it load the games absolutely. but laptops arent made for gaming it may cause heating issues.

Alright well thx anyways. I have ETW already but never played it cuz my desktop sucks. So as long as that plays ill be happy. But ill use "can you run it?" before i buy s2tw before i buy it just so i hav an idea
