Another thing you'll find is 17" laptops generally have much better GFX cards than 15" laptops, mainly due to heat issues.
I have a dell lattitude D820, 15" screen, 2gb ram, 2ghz core 2 duo and geeforce 7400 go gfx. when I got it at the start of the year it was the best gfx card dell put in a 15" laptop.
Anyway, it plays SH3 with an acceptable framerate @ 1680 x 1080 res. At default res its smooth as butter, but at 1680x1080 its quick enough for me and I don't get any major slowdowns in convoys or in harbours.
