738866 2009-01-15 06:09:00 It says Dell Dimension 2400.. smudge (13752)
738867 2009-01-15 06:10:00 It'll probably be better if you turn it on.

So, it will show the CPU's speed and the amount of ram thats in it

If this is it (support.dell.com) it maybe too slow

Depending on whether its 400 or 533. And if its a celeron, well it may not be good enough

738868 2009-01-15 06:18:00 such a small box can't hold that much hardware.

a decent graphics card would take up around half the laptops space

Actually its just a matter of making everything smaller, costs more

GFX cards from a desktop are way different than the GFX card in a laptop....
Expensive laptops do come with a discrete GFX card

738870 2009-01-15 06:32:00 Look on the back or the bottom, there should be a sticker somewhere if u haven't taken it off. pcuser7895 (12979)
738871 2009-01-15 06:33:00 I've checked the min. requirements for QOS and I don't think your desktop has the required GFX specs to run it, sorry mate.

738872 2009-01-15 06:34:00 Yes I would say that the laptop can't handle the game. I also see it has an intergrated graphics card which is not good.

738873 2009-01-15 06:59:00 I tried taking it back to the shop explaining what the problem was, but they don't accept refunds on games because of piracy issues.

Hah. Its illegal:
From the Commerce Commision:

Examples
A company sold computer software with a label attached to it stating no refund would be given if the package had been opened. The company was misleading people about their rights under the Consumer Guarantees Act and was convicted and fined


And laptops are NOT designed for gaming. The most importnat component for gaming:

A dedicated, separate (not integrated) GPU

Secondly:

A decent CPU, mnimum Dual Core.

738874 2009-01-15 07:12:00 Whoa.. what's illegal?
They wouldn't take it back because people can purchase it, go home and copy it, then take it back to the shop for a refund, and wala, a free game! Just like with CDs and DVDs, once you purchase, they can't refund.
