Was hoping I wouldnt have to ask but...

Do you people think my computer will run this game with many of the nicer graphical options? I consider myself computer savy enough and i have read most of the official information on the game to the point where i thought i wouldnt need to ask this question but then i started to wonder. OK so here is the deal:

2.0Ghz P4
512 Ram
30gig HDD <-- irrelevant because i have 11 or so gigs free

Now here is the problem piece

Radeon 9000 MOBILITY 64MB

Yes...mobility...i have a laptop...and a nice one at that..but i have run into games that do not like to run on laptop systems sometimes. Also, i cant get driver updates as often as desktops because ATI will not release updates for mobility products (for laptop owners to download at will that is) but rather they leave that up to the laptop manufacturer (which are few and far between from what i have seen). My laptop runs Half-Life like a dream but that is an older game so i expected no issues.

So what do people think?

Oh, and This is my first post so "Hi" to all and i am sorry if this is not in the proper forum section. Thanks.

I'll be nice as it's your first post, but it is in the wrong forum. We have a hardware forum.

Buy a PC though man. Sounds like a pretty good graphics card for a laptop, but I don't know how it'll perform with games like HL2. Otherwise the spec of your machine is fine.

It should run alright.. if you want to see it in all it's glory I would suggest trading it in for a desktop with a DX9 card.. or getting one if you love your laptop, which I would if I owned one

But seriously, wrong forum.

I apologize for the wrong forum, but i looked for the hardware one when i first wanted to post but i guess it was down because it wasnt listed under the forums...i checked just now and it was back up so i reposted this there. I will get a desktop eventually but i am a college student and a laptop is more convenient.
