Should i buy this laptop ?

[hallidaycc]

Hi , i have been looking to buy a new computer for a while and my friend says he will sell his laptop to me for £650, really i just want to play high spec games such as RTW and ME2TW , here are the specs:

Dell Inspiron 9100, Pentuim4 3.0GHZ processor. 1gb RAM, 128MB ATI Radeon 9700 Graphics card, 15.4" WUXGA Screen. Sigmatel 9750 Audio with built in stereo speakers. 60GB Hard drive, DVD+RW, Dell 1350 Wireless, Ports: PCMCIA, IEEE 1394, S-Video TV-Out Connector, RJ-11 Modem, RJ-45 Network, 4xUSB, DVI-D Connector, Video Connector.

Does anyone know if this will play RTW smoothly and efficiently

Welcome to the forums .
It will defenitaly work for RTW not sure about MTW II. Rome total war should run smoothley on it IMO best to get other people's views first.

Moved to The Basement as I think you will get much more feedback here

Download Fraps and the M2TW demo and see how many fps you get, then we can give you a better answer.

With laptops their effectiveness in terms of gameplay is really hard to determine from afar. You should really do as Alfonso VIII just said and post the results. If your friend is nice, he'll let you do the testing.
