I had no probs on my Acer. 512mb ram. X700portable. Laptops are sometimes burdened with heaps of crap business apps + wireless software etc etc, be nice to GW and turn off as much as you can.
However, remember to change the Resolution for widescreen.
I found my only prob was changing from full screen and back (usually to check this site or guildwiki) major swapping, meh not much to worry about.
Factions will work fine with any comp/laptop that can play orginal GW, same engine, some more DirectX support for Factions i think. nothing to stress about
256ram might be pushing it for either game though, to be honest. Hope it goes well.

That's probably 256M vRAM so that's plenty okay.

I'm on a pretty ancient laptop with 256MB RAM and I can say that it's pretty slow but I've seen others run pretty well with 512.

Cyberpower Xplorer 64-8700
(apparently I have an older one, their site now depicts it as have some angry face with hell burning everywhere on the case. Mine's just black and grey/silver.)
Processor: Mobile AMD Turion64 MT-30, 1.6 GHz 1 MB cache
Memory: 2 x 512 GB PC3200 DDR dual channel
GFX: ATI Mobility Radeon X700 128 MB
Storage: 60 GB 7200 RPM
Monitor: 15.4'' Glare WXGA 1280x800 pixels
Works great at 1280x800 with 2xAA. Very consistent visual quality, the only "hiccups" being from an unreliable/crappy Internet connection.

Runs mostly just fine on 1280x800 and maxed eyecandy. There's some occasional stuttering, but as said it's caused by the other software running on the background.

Very nice set up I was soooo ready to get a dv8000t as well, until I called HP and found out that 128MB of the 256MB video memory listed was actually shared with main RAM . Still, you can't beat the dv8000t for the hardware vs. price. I'm sure it will run GW at maxed settings no prob.
**Grumbles about Dell XPS systems not being available in Core Duo models (yet)**
