bought a crappy laptop.

It's a HP 550. 2 gig celeron (I didn't know they still made those) 3 gigs of ram. Integrated intel graphics, Intel GMA X3100.

 

Shares ram with the system, has none of it's own, in other worlds it's not a graphics card at all, but a cheap workaround. What do you think a thing like that could run. Does video and 2d functions well enough, I figure it could run 4-5 year old games as well. What about FO3. If i recall the engine was very forgiving on the system, you think it could run that.

 

Supposedly it runs WOW just fine.

I doubt Fallout 3 would run but Oldbivion might.

The thing came with vista OEM, does anyone know how you move the cursor using the arrow keys, there is a way I think. I can't stand that pad thingie, it's messing up my fingers.

Then get a frickin mouse, man!

 

If you are down to moving the cursor with the arrow keys, you may want to reconsider the whole laptop thing...

but it's nice, you can use the 'puter while resting. Now all I need is a catheter and I'll never have to leave my bed.

Then you'll just have to get a laser tracking mouse or learn to use the trackpad. Moving the cursor with the arrow keys is barbaric.
