I'm not a PC gamer but I'm looking into it. I won't even tell you about my PC because it is older than Moses. My laptop is what I want to use. I own a Dell Studio 15 laptop, a recent H.S graduation gift from my parents. My video card is an ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3400 Series. I'm just wondering how far it will take me.

F.Y.I- CoD:WAW and Fallout 3 are on my list.

Wrong forum, should be in PC hardware..but anyway;

If i'm assuming your dell studio 15 laptop is the standard one with 2Ghz dual core and 2Gb ram, it should *run* the games you mentioned on the HD3400, but not very well.

It's a low end card, so expect low end performance really.

I have the same video card in my laptop and its not amazing but it will play most new games on medium to low. I'm playing left for dead in high and that came out a week or two ago so its not horrible. I haven't played either or those games so i can't help you out there. Here's a list of games for pc that i can play: Medieval 2: Total War + Expansion(high setting), World in Conflict(medium to low), and left 4 dead(in high). Hopefully that helps a bit. Try can you run it. www.srtest.com
