    Bit short on video RAM, but that should cut it.

    You would do best getting a better graphics card (That one is VERY old, to say the least), your processor and ram seem to be fine, but the graphics card lets you down, probably 25-30fps max.

    Actually that computer is almost perfect for this game.  The only problem I see is with the Video card.. because that will be pushing the minimum requirements for the game.  The RAM is perfectly fine, since it meets up with Rec specs.. hell, I have 768 RAM and I don't have a problem with the game.  The processor is pretty decent as well.  So the only thing that will probably bog you down would be the video card.  Other than that.. no problems with that setup! 

    ..Oh.. right.. its a laptop.. so upgrading stuff is next to impossible ><

    Just get an external video card, they are gonna hit the market soon this summer ( or maybe have already landed). Perfect for laptops.

    If i know right, many graphic cards are pretty much stuck in the laptop and you cant change em (Including mine, annoying)

    So basically I won't be able to play the first or second GW?

    My graphic card is ok  for Americas Army and Granados Espada

    OP... Go to this site and run the tester.

    It scans your current hardware and compares it to the minimum system requirements of a game.  Guild Wars and its expansions are listed.

    You should be able to play GW, but not necessarily at good quality. You may have to skimp on the graphics settings in-game to get decent framerates.
