    Hey! I need to know if the game bioshock will work on this laptop I just ordered.
    It is a dell studio 15 laptop. Here are the specs:

    Processor: Intel® Core™ 2 Duo T5750 (2.00GHz/667Mhz FSB/2MB cache)

    Memory: 3GB Shared Dual Channel DDR2 at 667MHz

    LCD Panel: Glossy, widescreen 15.4 inch display (1280x800)

    Video Card: 256MB ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3450
    Video memory:Windows Vista™ Premium

    Hard Drive: 250GB SATA Hard Drive (5400RPM)

    Operating System: Genuine Windows® Vista Home Premium Edition SP1

    Sound Card: High Definition Audio 2.0

    So does it pass?
    (please elaborate your response a simple no wont cut it)

    I'm pretty sure it should be able to, however I'm not 100percent sure, as I've never used any ATI cards.

    However if you just want to know whether or not it will run on your laptop
    Go to this site: http://www.systemrequirementslab.com/referrer/srtest
    Choose bioshock, and click CAN YOU RUN IT?
    The results will tell you what you need to know.

    I think you will be able to run it on MEDIUM/HIGH at a res of 1024x768, without things like directX 10, Anti-Aliasing, or real-time reflections

    Check the site first.

    Hope this helps, and is elaborate enough :p

    PS- Bioshock is an amazing game :D

    Sorry I hadn't realized that you don't have the laptop at this time.

    Anyway, here are the requirements for it:
    Minimum System Requirements:
    CPU: Pentium 4 2.4GHz Single Core processor
    System RAM: 1GB
    Video Card: Direct X 9.0c compliant video card with 128MB RAM (NVIDIA 6600 or better/ATI X1300 or better, excluding ATI X1550).
    Sound Card: 100% direct X 9.0c compatible sound card
    Hard disk space: 8GB free space

    Recommended System Requirements:

    CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo processor
    System RAM: 2GB
    DX9 GPU: Direct X 9.0c compliant video card with 512MB RAM (NVIDIA GeForce 7900 GT or better)
    DX10 GPU: NVIDIA GeForce 8600 or better
    Sound Card: Sound Blaster X-Fi series (Optimized for use with Creative Labs EAX Advanced HD 4.0 or EAX Advanced HD 5.0 compatible sound cards)

    I'm quite sure you meet the recommended requirements so you should have no problems running it

    HAPPY GAMING :D

    PS - Give us a update when you get your laptop
