Default My Laptop

Idk if this should go here but feel free to move if needed.

My laptop is mainly just used for school work but it runs GW and I usually just use it to trade between accounts. Its nothing special and its kinda old. I have done a few quests and RAed a little and I was wondering if I should keep playing on it or just use it for trades. I get about 15 fps on lowest settings and it is playable. I don't want it to die on me or anything . Just making sure before anything goes bad.

Here it is:
Processor: Intel(R) Pentium(R) M processor 1.60GHz
Memory: 1528MB RAM
Hard Drive: 80 GB
Video Card:Mobile Intel(R) 915GM/GMS,910GML Express Chipset Family
Monitor: Generic Television
Sound Card: SoundMAX Digital Audio
Keyboard: USB Root Hub
Mouse: USB Root Hub
Operating System: Windows XP Home Edition (5.1, Build 2600) Service Pack 3 (2600.xpsp.080413-2111)
Motherboard: Intel Alviso-G i915GM

If it works for you, keep on using it. You're not going to kill it.

Make sure you blow the dust out every now and then - routine maintenance, innit?

I have something similar

Pentium M 1.60 GHz
1.5GB RAM
GeForce 6600Go 128 mb

GW has been running fine on it for almost 3 years, and isn't really taxing on the laptop. Note that while the video card allows better graphics and more fps it also generates more heat, so that should be less of a problem with your as long as you do the cleaning.
