Your i7 at 2.40GH is a bottleneck too. See if you can over clock it to at least 2.9 or 3.0. Go into the BIOS and see if you can raise the clock speed.

That's the problem with buying laptops, the processor is most always on the weak side. You need a processor that can do the job for gaming. It's one reason I'll never buy a laptop with a low clock speed.

I have an i5 2.81 in this desktop and SH5 played pretty good. I could raise the clock speed to 2.93 with XP 32bit and it ran better. My downfall was having only 4GBs of DDR3 RAM. Now that I'm running Windows 8.1 64 bit I've jumped up the RAM to 12GBs, it should play even better once I get everything transferred over to this new HDD, and get it all set up with the mods installed.
