Jo Ann,
It all depends on how the game was coded. If it's multi-threaded and it
didn't specifically ask for a multi-core CPU, then he might get by if this
was a desktop system. If it did ask for a multi-core, then it would
probably stutter a bit. The fact that there is 3GB of RAM should help.
It will also require a rather good video card and most laptops don't
have such a beast. This is really the deciding factor on whether or not
he'll be able to play the game.
Peace,
Gman
