    I just purchased the laptop below in my signature but have not recieved it yet. Will it be able to run Age of Empires 3 on the highest settings? Thanks for any input you can give me.

    yea that system should pretty much rape AOE 3

    (and because its a dual processor, you could probably play AOE 3 on top of AOE 2 and AOE 1 :D :D)

    You know I was pretty disappointed with AOE3 for reasons I won't get into, but mainly because the code was so bloated (typical M$) that it didn't run well at ALL on my GPU. Now, it's not like I expect it to run perfectly seeing as it is an old video card, but Empire Earth 2, a game released at the same time as AOE3, runs with superior graphics AND performance. Is there any explanation for that?

    There are some bugs with the water though. If you have settings on high it will lag.
