    I have AoE III running on mine Asus W2V and its like youre notebook.
    Well don't set everything to high.
    I now use catalyst 5 driver and it is better, but you have a Nvidia.

    Very nice game do.

    okay thanks a bunch. i have another quick question, sorry about it. will playing the notebook with batteries effect the gameplay? will it be a better choice with an AC adapter?

    when your laptop is using the battery, the cpu speed will drop. and if you are using the ac then the cpu speed will be at its max.
