    I have just ordered a dell studio 17. I was planning to buy a gaming laptop so I thought the studio 17 was alright to play GTA IV etc. From looking on the requirements my computer passes but I have heard that even the xps m17 can't play GTA IV with more than 10fps. I am now starting to get worried because I bought the laptop for 800 pounds. Can you tell me if my laptop can run it or not so I can make sure?
    Here are the specs:
    Intel® Core™ 2 Duo Processor P8600 (2.40Ghz, 3MB, 1066MHz)
    Genuine Windows Vista® Home Premium SP1 - English
    17.0" Widescreen WXGA+ CCFL (1440x900) TFT Display with TrueLife™
    256MB ATI Mobility RADEON HD 3650
    4096MB 800MHz Dual Channel DDR2 SDRAM [2x2048]
    320GB (5.400rpm) SATA Hard Drive
    Fixed Internal DVD+/-RW Slot Load Drive including Software

    Tanks for any help.

    Don't worry, the coding is brutal on that game. Even high end desktops struggle with it. It's like crysis...except without the whole looking great part.
