go there, it will check your specs and tells you if you can run any game, sometimes it doesn't recognize your parts though if its too old , but it will give you a warning.

1. Yes, but only on minimum settings due to the lack of a separate graphics card and the age of the integrated graphics
2. Not important, it's a feature that was made standard on everything a very long time ago.
3/4. Complicated. It would be 2 at 1.73GHz, can't combine them, BUT the GHz number doesn't equal performance, and a modern single 1.73GHz CPU would actually be faster than a single Pentium 4 3GHz. You'd need to look up benchmarks to tell depending on game. The second CPU allows it to run some things in parallel if the game supports it but it doesn't add to the first.
Can you tell me the name of your integrated graphics chip? From "Name" on Display tab of dxdiag. Or better yet your laptop model number so I can check myself.
download everest . it is a program that will read your components and give you a summary on them. It is more detailed than the dxdiag report, and has some other usefull functions.

You have a GMA 950. You will be able to run Kotor on minimum settings. A quick search shows people having problems with Kotor 2 though.

Thanks, so whats dragging my laptop down most, I seem to exceed all requirements by a fair bit. |
Graphics, by far.
Look at this chart:
http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/gaming-graphics-card-review,review-32549-7.html
Your GMA 950 is in the righthand column second from the bottom. Almost every other card on there is better. Notably, the recommended requirement for Kotor is a Geforce 4 Ti, 5 steps up, which was released TEN YEARS AGO.

Edit: the troubleshooting section doesn't even know I'm using firefox, telling me I need certain browsers to read it, firefox being listed... |
So what you're saying is that you don't have the system requirements to run a system requirements test. Bwahahahaha! :P

| KylieDog said: That website Pallus linked is workin now, a lot of games I'm meeting requirements for except it keeps failing on the graphics card not having T&L. Can I run games without T&L even though its a requirement? For KOTOR, guess I can nab used Xbox copies off ebay if the T&L going to stop me. |
You can do it but you may encounter some graphics glitches etc.
Here a list that will tell you what games your GPU supports. (you may have to run them in low settings tho)

Edit:
But to be honest I am not sure if there is a difference between the mobile and desktop GMA 945 does a desktop version even exist? (I never cared about low low low low end GPU's lol so take the list with a grain of salt.)

| KylieDog said: That list is great, thanks a lot. |
It says it fails T&L because it has software T&L, not hardware. KOTOR can still use software T&L despite what the requirements say.
