    Intel core 2 duo p8600 3mb l2 cache, 1066 mhz
    2.40 ghz
    3gb DDR2
    ATI Radeon HD 3470 Graphics 256 MB (dedicated)

    I want to buy this laptop but i was wondering if there are games that will be too demanding on the graphic card. Like not-worth-playing too demanding. In short, what games CANT this laptop handle?

    You can run any game on the market, just not at the highest settings. Next time, please refer to the "Can I run it?" Thread.

    Crysis and GTAIV are kind of iffy there. Might run, but not very playable.

    3470 is a low/mid-range card.

    can play most games on medium/low settings at average resolutions.

    please refer to the GPU Guide

    Gophn, you're a mod, you're supposed to lock this and merge it to that topic.
