    Has anyone tried to play Guild Wars on the Inspiron 1300?

    I know this is not a Gaming Laptop PC, but just wanted to know before I buy the game.

    ;)

    You could play it but.. I imagine in cities or places with lots of people around it would get down to around 5FPS. Otherwise in normal game play on lower settings it should run around 20-30FPS. I wouldn't recommend it, but if your patient enough and really want to play you could.
