I'm not very good with computers but I want to start buying some PC games to play while at work. I was wanting to buy COD BLOPS 2 and saw the requirements were
OS: Windows Vista SP2 or Windows 7
CPU: Intel Core2 Duo E8200 2.66 GHz or AMD Phenom X3 8750 2.4 GHz
Memory: 2GB for 32-bit OS or 4GB for 64-bit OS
Video Card: Nvidia GeForce 8800GT 512 MB
I do have windows 7. I looked around on my laptop and saw it has Intel[R] Core[TM] i5 CPU, M 560 @2.67GHz. I'm not sure what my video card is. Maybe from what I found its an Intel(R) HD Graphics (Corei5)
. Anyways I was wondering if someone could help me figure out if my laptop is compatible with the game before I just go and buy it.

you could play some Source engine games like team fortress 2, counter strike:source, or the Half Life series but other than that you're not in very good shape.

Recent intel graphics have been updated that you can play some games just at low settings. That however is the first generation I5 graphics which is crap. I'm assuming you want a laptop?

Yea it's for my laptop. I thought I could get a new video card to solve what look like the issue instead of a whole new laptop. Like I said before I don't really know much about computers. Oh well thanks for the answers guys

Yea you can't really upgrade a laptop. You can somewhat but it's not as simple as a desktop and usually your graphics not possible.
