    Go into options and lower everything until it runs smoother. The 7150M is an integrated card, so I don't think you'll be able to run COD4 that well even on the lowest settings.

    it's unlikely that it'll be enjoyable or playable for that matter on your laptop and don't trust systems requirements lab.

    even though its integrated, it has a dedicated memory of 128mb and can share up to 799m....does it matter?

    No, clock speed determines power. Memory is just a plus.

    Pretty much. You may lose 1-3 FPS, but that's dedicated memory.

    Lower it to 640x480, all low, and try it out. You'll be lucky to get over 20 FPS. That card just won't run that game. And your CPU doesn't matter... trust me. At all low, 640x480, the game is going to look terrible.

    The game is not going to be playable on your card no matter what. CoD 4 requires a GeForce 6600 or ATI Radeon 9800 Pro or greater and the Go7150 is fractions of their speed.

    By the way, this is a forum and not an instant messaging chatroom - if possible use comprehensible, non-shorthand English. You will get more respect and responses that way.

    search up some good console commandes and use them, also put everything on bare min., including textures, just everything. I have the same laptop and i play COD4 with 15-23 FPS average. But in buildings it can shoot up to 50 FPS

    Pretty bad... :D


    Just kidding.... Actually you can do something about it.

    Perhaps you'd be able to choose between extremely slow OR just slow and damn ugly (cause in order to run it just slow, you'd have to decrease all the graphics to a PS1/SNES level... :err: ).

    Mate, if you plan to play some games at your laptop... get one with a good videocard... otherwise, go ALL the way w/the integrated solutions, forget about gamming and save yourself some money. Cause the worst thing is to spend some extra cash to get a laptop with a mid-low mobile videocard and ended up still unable to play the newest games. :(
