    Don't know too much about specs, but just wondering if I am able to game on this notebook.

    Newegg.com - ASUS A54 Series A54C-NB91 Notebook Intel Pentium B970(2.3GHz) 15.6" 6GB Memory 320GB HDD 5400rpm DL DVD+/-RW / CD-RW Intel HD Graphics

    I'm looking to play neverwinter nights 2 on it. Do you think it will play relatively smoothly?


    Also, the above link has a review that says the sound is poor. This is one of the few things keeping me from buying it. Are the speakers of poor quality or the sound card? I plan on doing some studio recording work on it but I will be using headphones. So if the speakers are the only issue, I don't mind.

    any input would be appreciated!

    thanks

    Neverwinter 2 is quite a poorly coded game, it never liked integrated chips and the pentium series has a cut down GPU so I don't think it will run smoothly.
