It's a laptop that's ~2yr old. I always make sure the power supply is plugged in so it won't run off of the battery. But, the main specs are: GeForce 310M (drivers are up to date) Intel Core i3 @2.27ghz running Win7 64-bit 4gb RAM 450gb HDD I've set most things to low and/or disabled but I have read a couple of places that setting video memory to low rather than normal actually results in decreased performance, though I'm not sure how true that is.
