    i just got my laptop last year, window 7 with duo processor, 4gb ram, but seems like its choppy alot, especially after i played for a while. here is list what my computer saids:

    components-- subscore 1.0 -7.9
    processor 5.7
    memory 5.7
    graphic 4.1
    gaming graphic 3.4 <-------
    primary hard disk 5.8

    so im assuming my graphic card is junk? is it hard to upgrade on a laptop? never replaced 1 in a laptop before, i done couple desktop's

    It's impossible to upgrade graphics in a laptop..

    chances are you have integrated graphics, in which case there isn't much you can do.

    Just make sure the graphics settings are all set at the lowest.

    I play on a laptop, but my specs are much higher: Core i5, ATI Radeon 5850, etc

    ya core i5 is much much better than my t6600(i3) plus its just a simple lap top, hense video graphic sucks balls, ehhh, might have to dig up my old desk top from basement start to built it haha. i havent really played any games online, only couple but didnt last more than few minutes so it didnt lag at all, but in campane mode, once there are too many units, it lags little bit

    ya all the setting are set at low.

    This is incorrect. Several laptops feature upgradable and interchangeable graphics. It all depends on the laptops make and model and how it was built.

    I'd wager this laptop came with built-in Intel graphics. Post the make and model here and also post a dxdiag and I can provide additional information.

    To run dxdiag=> Windows_logo_key+r, dxdiag. If you have 64-bit windows, click the button at the button that says "Run 64-bit DxDiag," Then save all the data by clicking "Save All Information..." zip/rar the text file and attach it to the post. Instructions on how to zip here. To create a rar file, first download and install winRAR then read this guide here.
