    Second life is very poorly coded. Runs fairly choppy on the laptop in my sig. It does seem to be very CPU dependent though (and very dependent on the speed of the internet). My CPU can hit almost max and my gpu stays at near idle temps.

    It seemed to run very similer on my g/f's former Inspiron e1505 with an x1300.

    In other words, I think I was expecting more out of the visuals of the game. I think that laptop will do fine.
