The sad thing is that this is better than what my computer was before I went crazy with upgrades.
I have an Athlon II as well, but desktop, and I've overclocked it. I can tell you this: I can only play REALLY light games on it.
And then the GPU? I had that one before. The first time I tried Dolphin, way back when 3.0 stable was new, I was using that GPU (desktop integrated, of course). You're not going to be able to play games with that GPU. It is far too weak for even dolphin. Plus, it's encountered massive graphical glitches with almost every program I've tried to use it with, Dolphin included. The laptop version MIGHT be less of a useless piece of crap, but I wouldn't count on it.
