My previous notebook would not run the game. It had an Athlon Turion CPU, 2 GB of system RAM and 128 MB dedicated ATI graphics card, and would run the game at 1-2 FPS. Totally sucked, as I was hoping the 17" widescreen would do it justice. On the other hand, my newest gaming notebook just chews through the game and asks for more.

I've looked at netbooks but fail to see their attraction, other than their compact size. For just a few dollars more you can get into a larger lower end notebook. Still, if their size and weight appeal you get a nice, compact unit that is adequate for internet, but not much else. That's why they call them netbooks.
