    I'm not really a gamer, and despite my ignorance, I still realize a proper gaming laptop is the way to go if gaming is the goal, but will my Aspire 5315 (1.73GHz/2GB) be able to handle Star Wars Galaxies? It is a fairly old game, but at the time it was fairly demanding. I dont know if the graphics card is the bottle-neck or the CPU, or both?

    Thanks for your time.

    Hi. Try clicking on this link

    http://cyri.systemrequirementslab.com/cyri/intro.aspx

    and selecting the game(s) you're interested in. It doesn't cover all games, but it does have a couple of Star Wars Galaxies titles. The cyri in the url stands for Can You Run It

    HTH
