    To all of you experienced gamers,

    I'm wondering if it's possible to upgrade my Lenovo SL300 for gaming. Games like Crysis, Half Life, or Call of Duty to name a few. I currently have an Intel Core 2 Duo T5870 2.0 GHz 32-bit OS, 2.0 GB RAM, and a graphics card that is obviously not good enough. Does anyone know what I need and if it's possible?

    Thanks!

    Unfortunately you have a business class laptop, so their are not any upgrade options for your system in the graphics department.

    You can save up to buy a gaming laptop, or by a low end desktop to game if you are on a budget
