    Just by looking at your specs, I can tell you the game should run, but probably not smoothly.
    If you press the Windows Key and the Break Key at the same time, it will bring up your System Specifications. What is your processor speed? (GHz)

    I can tell you now that 2GB of RAM is recommended at least.

      That CPU is above the recommended specification by far, I'm more worried about your graphics card.
      As your laptop has integrated graphics, the game will not run very well at all, it may not start and if it does it won't be playable.
      Sorry, but laptops aren't for gaming.
