Graphics card is the important item here, so if you get that up then we might be able to help you.

2.20ghz is a slightly under average processor, but I imagine it will be able to run the finished overgrowth quazi-decently.

But the GPU is the important thing.

You should do just fine.
I have a Laptop myself and it's specifications are as follows:

CPU: Dual 2.26 GHz
GPU: 512MB DGM (Dedicated Graphic Memory)
RAM: 3GB RAM

And I also run on a 64-Bit Operating System.
I also run the game in 1280x720 resolution instead of the default of 800x600.

I won't say that it will not lag, because that may occur.
I'm just stating that you won't have any problems running the game due to "bad specs".


I hope this helps and lets you play this piece-of-awesome. ;)

Without a graphics card I doubt it would work.

You need a graphics card for 3d graphics.

You most likely have a graphic card, of some sort. :)
Without it you wouldn't be able to use the computer, or more specifically, you wouldn't see anything on your screen. ;)

He might have integrated graphics, which is the standard if you didn't buy a graphics card, but that only allows basic 3d and won't support OG.

True, I hate the fact that I have a crappy mobile graphics card.

Still, what are you going to do?

It would be cool if you could like wire up an external (NON MOBILE/MICRO) graphic-card and keep it inside an USB-driven fridge.
