From the looks of it, you don't have a dedicated video card, and that's going to be your biggest downfall. From the looks of the requirements, you're not going to meet them. It might be playable, but probably not smooth at any setting.

If money isn't a issue, check out http://www.pro-star.com They're first in industry to build a custom laptop with dedicated GeForce 7600+ video cards and even SLI.

Note: Alienware has contract with them to use their high-end model as the platform for their Area-51+ gaming laptops. Alienware does not manufacturer them, ProStar does. You may also check out ProStar's sister company: http://www.sagernotebooks.com

You will find the craziest laptops in the world.

hmm i dont know that you will be able to run games on high, but if you move stuff around and change out the graphics card, i think you could run games fairly decently.
