Copy pasted specs. I've been told that i wont be able to run many games, but I would like to know what I can play with these specs on my laptop.

Also how can you tell how good the video card is? For example the req's for Video card to play Sf4 say ATI Radeon X1900 but mine has a higher number...does that mean its better? please help me figure this stuff out.

Would like to play diablo 3 if possible :<

4250 is fairly terrible. You can check this site to get an idea of what it can run:

My wife's laptop has the same specs as you. Bulletstorm on low at 800.600 was fairly playable (20–30fps). Portal 2 ran and looked as good as the ps3 version.

That's all the frame of reference I can give you

That really helps actually. The way the guy in the store was talking was as if I couldn't run pacman. The first post's link says starcraft 2 was able to run on low, but I think diablo 3 will have slightly higher req's

I hopeee I can somehow still play it. Aside from that I'll be cool with all old games since I have every console to play games on.

Diablo 3 should probably be fine, as with most Blizzard games.

I bought the Sega Creampants collection on Steam and all the games run perfectly on my laptop, which is lower-end than yours.
