Can I play Medieval Total War on my laptop?

[Kodika]

I have an HP G60 217-EM Notebook with an AMD Turion Duel-Core RM 72 processor and a GeForce 8200 M G video card. I have 256 MB of dedicated video memory and a total available graphics memory of 1407MB. I have 2.8GB of Ram (system memory 2,814 and graphics memory of 1,395). My operating system is Vista 32 bit (Service Pack 2).

I would like to play Medieval Total War but I have heard one can experience problems playing it with Vista as it was designed for XP. Will it work okay with Vista? I know there are different versions available. Which is best for my system specs'? "Can You Run It" says my pc meets the recommended requirements for Medieval II and Medieval Kingdoms, but can I trust them?


I realise these games work far better on desktops, but when I bought my laptop, I was told that it was better for gaming than most laptops, because it had a dedicated graphics card. (I am unable to install a more powerful graphics card or increase the ram in my laptop.)

Any help that anyone can give will be appreciated.

Give it up for any Total War game. I don't even think it would pull up the campaign map on RTW much less Medieval2 and up and battles are out of the question.

It will work great for watching movies and playing Solitaire.
