Answer 1

The requirement is for a single core (2.6ghz)

You would be running a duo equivalent to 5.52ghz so that meets the grade.



4gb ram owns the requirement and it looks like the graphics will surpass for the game you are wanting to play.



That laptop looks A-Ok

Answer 2

I don't think you should get a gaming laptop at all. with that 900 you can build/buy a desktop computer that can run Command and Conquer 3, twice close to 3 times better then any laptop for the same price, and you can ask any IT professional and they'll agree with me on this. The only advantage of a laptop is that you can take it from desk to bed or on a trip, and even if you do that it'll last a mere hour playing a game. You should only get a laptop if you plan on using it for school or work. Now, to get to your answer if you MUST buy a laptop to run this, from the looks of those specs, yes you'll be able to run the game just fine. Hope i can persuade you differently though :]

Answer 3
