    First off, System Requirements Labs always puts their game requirements in terms of how fast a Pentium 4 would need to be to run the game. To make the comparison even less useful, it just considers the raw clock speed of the processor and nothing else.

    Your processor, which is many generations newer than the Pentium 4, is more than powerful enough.

    Oh well. Whatever SR labs says - dunno. But you cannot overclock the CPU in that notebook.
