Whats the CPU? my guess is a Celeron M 1.5Ghz, correct?

You may be able to load the game, but i doubt you'll be able to play.

Are you sure those are the AoE III system requirements? 'cause i believe they are slightly higher than that, i'll look 'em up when i get some time...but forthe laptop it should[ run on low settings.

Okay, so your specs are pretty much exactly the same as the minumum requirements. So technically it will play, but on the lowest settings at either 640x480 or 800x600 (max) resolution.

i wasnt sure if it was or not, but thanks for clearing that up. So most likely you can play on lowest settings at 800x600.
