Would my computer handle Vinditcus?

  I've recently considered trying vind out but my laptop is old and I have no idea how it will handle it.
  
  Here's my computer info:
  
  Vista Home Premium:
  Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU T5750 @ 2.00GHz 2.00 GHz
  Memory: 3.00 GB
  System Type: 32Bit
  
  I think my bigger concern is my graphics card but I forgot where to look to obtain that info.

  Here ya go.
  
  If you need some specs on your comp, download nividia inspector to be sure. Well, only if you have a nividia card.
  
  You're just below the core clock speed for the game so expect to turn down the graphics if you want to play.

  As I figured it's my video card, BUT NOT BECAUSE IT'S CRAPPY. It's because It's not nvidia ._.;

  You'll still need to crank down your settings to play at 60fps seeing as you meet the min reqs and you've got an integrated graphics card. That draws on the power of your core itself and its cooling won't be as good as dedicated graphics card.
  
  Personally, I wouldn't ever play games like vindi on a laptop.

  So if I did seriously intend to play vindictus, what would I have to do to prepare it without interfering with Mabinogi?

  .....you're planning to run both games at the same time?
  
  That's not happening man. Integrated gfx cards are not meant to play high demanding games since it relies on your chipset. It'll cause quite a bit of stress on your computer and possibly shorten lifespan.
  
  I really don't think you can upgrade your graphics card due to the physical limitations of a laptop. If you wanted to game on a laptop, you'd need an expensive gaming one and at the same price, you can get a desktop of much higher quality.

  It was just a theoretical question. ._. Also this laptop is more then 10 years old and if I could afford gaming computers that expensive I probably would be playing Skyrim instead :/ Oh well Thanks anyways guys.

  What would you define as expensive for a laptop, if I may ask?

  Let's see. I only have 13$ to my name and a 200$ check coming in the mail from jury duty. Currently, unemployed and cannot find a job no matter how many places I look and ask. Everyone's always lying or not hiring or I need to be "qualified" for the job.
  
  So in a nutshell getting a new computer at all is out of the question til I find a new job.

  I see. Yeah, I'm in the same boat. I have more money thanks to Financial Aid from my community college, but I have a phone bill each month and most places I've applied to haven't given me anything, or the ones that do look interesting requried "qualifications." It's annoying.

  I'm glad I'm employed..
  
  Well keep trying man. I used to be in the same boat as you. Now I've got a decent gaming rig that i got wity my hard earned money.

  With that graphics chip, you'll be lucky if Vindi will be playable on the lowest settings. I suspect it will run, but the experience won't be enjoyable due to low frame rate.
