Curse

I just bought a laptop, and I was wondering if I could run GuildWars on it, and not on just my desktop.

This is what the 'System' page say:

Model: Presario C500
Processor: Geniune Intel CPU @1.73 GHz
RAM: 1014 MB
System Type: 32-bit Operating System

The rest of the information is pertaining to the computer's 'name' on our wireless network and other similar information.

Now, I am not too computer-savvy, so if this isn't the right information, I apologize. If anyone would like to tell me where to find any other information that might help me, that'd be spectactular.

Oh, and I'm running Vista.

Thanks in advance if anyone helps.

CPU and RAM are quite ok, but they'll get you only half the way. For a reliable estimate we need to know what graphics chip your computer has. A low powered GPU often is the bottleneck that makes running games impossible (especially on a laptop).

I never used Vista, but I presume this is still the same there: Right-click on "My computer" -> Properties -> Hardware -> Manager

Look what graphics device is listed there.

Well, I googled Presario C500, here's a link. I don't really know what to look for, so.. yeah.

'Intel GMA 950 integrated graphics' is under the list of what I believe to be the specs.
