    Hi,
    I was just wondering if anyone with a laptop has tried running DoD:S on lowest settings on a system with an Intel GMA x4500. Would it run at a playable frame rate?

    Source games will run on pretty much anything, it scales very well. You will just have to run at med to low I think.

    It should be playable. Probably mostly low-settings though. I played it on my x3100 (the older brother to the x4500), and it ran smoothly...all settings low, and forcing dx.8, 800x600...but I never died due to lag, so its all good :p.

    I can play CSS on x3100 with the highest setting (no AA) at 1280 x 800 at around 20 - 25 fps. IF DOD:S use the same engine then the x4500 should be able to max out it
