Well I'm getting this Laptop for university. Sony VGN-NS30ES Laptop (My link to teh pc world website wont work)

-Intel Pentium Dual-Core processor T4200

-3GB Ram

-Graphics Card TypeMobile Intel Graphics 4500mTo enable images to be displayed on your monitorGraphics Memory1320 MBThe higher the memory the better quality images you are display

Of which I've no clue what the Graphics memory/type means so I have no idea about its capabilities.

I was just wondering If anyone could tell me If it's possible to play Empire:Total war on that and if possible to recomend me some RTS's or TBS's.

Yeah. Not much with that graphics card.

You could try diablo or maybe half life / half life 2.

Sims 3 on low

Look for games pre 2005 if any chance of running

Another onboard Intel videocard setup, with the RAM and decent processor it should play older games like 2003-2004 and under games. Don't expect much though on the demanding games. Check this site out, these guys cut the videocard down and explain whats going on even has some benchmarks for some games like FEAR and Doom 3 which aren't fairing to good

I think you should forget about playing a game unless it was made a long time ago or browser based.

intel graphics and gaming don't mix, you need a gefore and radeon to play games. Had you got a amd system with integrated graphics ou'd probably be able to play some new games, but intel is nothing at playable frame rate more than around 3 years old.
