I know there are probably MANY other cases of people asking this same thing about their laptop; but I can't seem to find anything for my laptop...
So, here are the specs on my OLD laptop that can run Dragon Age on the LOWEST settings with only MINIMAL lag and screen tearing.

  • AMD Athlon™ 64 Single-Core Processor TF-20 (512KB L2 cache, 1.6GHz)
  • 3GB (2/1) DDR2 667 SDRAM
  • 250GB Hard Drive, Integrated variable-speed Super-Multi drive
  • ATI Mobility Radeon X1200
  • WIndows 7
Here are the stats on my NEW laptop that I'm getting in the mail in a few days... Now I figure since this new one is better, it should run it better...or at least smoother on the lowest settings, but if anyone could tell me how well it could run (SMOOTHLY) on what setting. Ya know? 

  • AMD Athlon II X2 dual-core P320 processor
    2.10GHz, 1066MHz Front Side Bus, 1MB L2 Cache
  • 2GB DDR3 system memory
    Gives you the options for surfing, video conferencing, documents, basic photo editing and simple computer tasks
  • 250GB SATA hard drive
    Store 166,000 photos, 71,000 songs or 131 hours of HD video and more
  • ATI Radeon HD 4250 graphics with 256MB of dedicated system memory,
    supporting Unified Video Decoder 2 (UVD2), OpenEXR High Dynamic-Range
    (HDR) technology, Shader Model 4.0, Microsoft DirectX 10.1
  • Windows 7
Thanks in advanced guys.

Your graphics card is rather weak, the rest seems OK. But don't trust me, trust this neat site canyourunit.com

Edit: Since your laptop isn't there yet:

DA Minimum Specifications (Win 7/Vista)
OS: Windows Vista with SP1 check 
CPU: Intel Core 2 (or equivalent) running at 1.6Ghz or greater
AMD X2 (or equivalent) running at 2.2GHZ or greater almost check (2.1GHZ) 
RAM: 1.5 GB or more check 
Video: ATI Radeon X1550 256MB or greater barely check (-ish)
NVIDIA GeForce 7600 GT 256MB or greater
DVD ROM (Physical copy) check 
20 GB HD space check

The graphics card look weak on your new laptop.



I had a ATI Radeon 3200 with 256 mb VRAM in my desktop, before I got a G-force GT220 with one gb VRAM. Everything above 800 x 600 at minimum detail setting was laggy. With the new card I run it smoothly at 1280 x 960, with highest possible detail setting.



My processor is an AMD phenon triple core, 2.1 ghz.

I know the graphics card is weak. I'm not looking at running the game on the highest setting, just a setting to where it runs SMOOTHLY. Even if it's on the lowest difficulty. Would this run it on the lowest setting? Smoothly?

AMD V Series Processor V120 2.2ghz

2gig DDR3 memory

ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4250 Graphics with 256MB-893MB shared memory

Windows 7

Could this run Dragon age? Oblivion? Fallout? Exc. Even on the lowest setting. I just want it smooth.



And the reason I havn't used Canyoururnit.com is becuase I"m shopping for a cheap laptop (less then $500) That can run games like Dragon age, Oblivion, WoW, Fallout 3, exc. Even if its on the lowest setting; I just want them SMOOTHLY.

It would run smoothly on the lowest settings, yes.

However, I would highly recommend saving up for a laptop with a better graphics card if you' re looking to enjoy games like Oblivion, Fallout 3, DAO etc. DAO for one looks quite horrible on low settings. Better invest now than regret in the future imo.

See the thing is; I have a PC that can run it (and most anything at max) I'm just wanting something for under half a grand, that I can play some of these on the go. Just want it smooth. Don't care the settings its on.

There's NEVER any possible "guarantee" for unsupported hardware. Anything less than an actual, discrete add-on circuit board for graphics is going to choke somewhere. You're better off to shop for a used laptop with better components that anything "cheap" with low quality components.

That older laptop was no better, and in fact because it predated the SM-3 pixel shaders, it cannot run games that require such support (it's an IGP based on the Radeon 9600 design, after it spent a year being the X300 / X550).

Well What about this:

HP 15.6 Pavilion DV6-3259WM Laptop PC with AMD Phenom II Triple-Core P860 Mobile Processor and Windows 7 Home Premium


AMD Phenom II Triple-Core P860 Mobile processor
2.00GHz, 1.5MB L2 Cache

4GB DDR3 SDRAM system memory (expandable to 8GB)

500GB SATA hard drive

ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4250 Graphics with 128MB display cache memory with 128MB GDDR3 (sideport memory) with up to 2045MB (2GB) graphics memory

How smooth would ME1 and ME2 run on this?

Not well at all. The HD 4250 is only an onboard Chipset video chip, and is just way too slow.
