    I have REALLY REALLY been wanting to get Rome: Total War since it came out, but i'm not sure if my Laptop is good enough to play it.

    I have a Compaq Presario 2500 and the Graphics card is a Radeon 345M. I think it has 64mb of memory on the card(?).

    Anyway, i tried playing the demo of RTW, but it was a little choppy, and the mouse pointer and units kept ghosting...like have a long line of ghost replicas behind it...

    hmmm...i dunno. help me pls!

    it most liekly cannot play it smoothly because of your laptops specs ...

    it will play it in the condition ur playing right now ...

    u could try to reduce the resolution and the graphics of the game ...

    that might help ...

    enjoy[ :)]

    Apparently the RTW demo plays choppier than the retail version. Maybe it will play alright.
