[kyosang]

Hi, I have a dell Vostro 1500. i want to play more advanced games such as Oblivion and Call of Duty 5, neither of which my laptop will run. Basically i want to know if i can upgrade my current laptop.

My configuration
Intel core 2 Duo Processor @1.40 Ghz
2.0 GB RAM
Mobile Intel(R) 965 Express Chipset Family video card with 384mb Video RAM, 3D acceleration

Hi, for your information laptops are not meant for such high end gaming.you will need a desktop to play that. at least core 2 duo 3.0 ghz. and 512mb ddr3 graphics card.

Go for a dell Inspiron desktop. Make it 4 GB RAM upgrade the processor. upgrade the video card.

you can't play GTA 4 on your laptop.

As far as upgrading is concerned it's limited in case of laptops ,and if you can then it would only be the RAM modules.you will need a new computer. The machine you have is limited to the slow processor that is in it.

I also suggest going with an AMD its known for being a media processor. You want something 2.5Ghz Dual or higher with 3Gb of RAM and an ATI Graphics card as well.

meh i got a dell vostro 1700 laptop

and it runs call of duty 4 and 5 perfectly i havent tried GTA 4 as i havent got it for pc,

my spec 4gb ram, 256mb Nvidia 8600M GT graphics card, and a 2.0 duo core procssor, if you really wanna play games on a laptop youll have to get a dedicated grapics card such as an Nvidia or ATI not get a GMA good luck

Your Graphic card and ram are good for GTA 4 , but the processor is not so good . Game like GTA 4 has lot of bug in them check this links for more knowledge: Grand Theft Auto 4 (GTA4) Error Codes

You can play gta iv on a laptop, but it has to meet specs. Mine runs gta iv but i wish my geforce had 512mb instead of 256... it runs ok, but you can tell in some missions theres a little bit of lag, nothing unbearable though. I did have to buy a cooling pad, the vent felt like it could fry eggs.
