I just got a new laptop, not my choice, and was wondering if I could upgrade it to play games.

Intel Dual Core T4300 - 2.10 ghz

Windows 7 - 64 bit

4 GB Ram

Intregated series 4 graphics

I want to play games like Call of Duty and Mass Effect

Any Suggestions?

If you have any PCLe slots left you can upgrade the video card.

The processor is fine for COD. COD is not that demanding of a game however with a integraded chip like yours you may want to upgrade is you can. You have plenty of ram for almost anything

you can't upgrade a laptops graphics card, not sure why the other posters are thinking you can...

with an integrated card you will have alot of trouble running those games, although COD 1 might run decently, the newer ones you will have problems with. I'm afraid that you are stuck with what you have, desktops can be upgraded, laptops can't (except for ram...and sometimes the cpu although i wouldn't recommend it)

If you have a 360, why would you need to play Mass Effect on a PC anyways?
