So will it work well?
anybody?

Yeah. It'l definately work. My only worries is the video card. It'l run definately, but the game might not show full potential, and might load slow due to a 64mb Video card. I'd suggest getting a 128mb one atleast.

I ran GW slow, but well on:

1.79Ghz
60 or so Hard Drive
64 MV NVidia G-Force FX(No pixel-support, this disabled me from seeing a bosses auras)
256RAM

It ran slow, but it was playable. The game itself was fine, was just the loading.

I'm now on the same as then, but with 512MB RAM, and a 128MB Nvidia-5500 G-force- It works great on high detail( No anti-aliasing).

Hope this helps.

i know someone running GW on 500mhz and with well it was 256mb of ram with a 64mb card... loading times were kind of killer but it played

but yeah yours should play it, but like McMahon said, you should upgrade the video card.

Wow thnx ok but i own a laptop i dont think you can upgrade video cards on laptops. Ok another question. the reason i asked this and im a lil worried is because i baught Age of Empires 3 last year and it just ran so freakin slow i could barely do anything. I hope this game wont be another flashback to Age of Empires 3 because that would be horrible :P.

this will analyze your system to tell you yes/no and if yes there is a graph that gives a fairly good idea of how well.

it will work, the only thing is you will be running at 20fps maximum at any one time.

You CAN run GW with it, but...

At the lowest setting and get around 10~20 FPS

what GeForce FX is it? A 5200 won't run the game very well at all. A 5600 will be semi-ok, but still not so hot.
