Hi Guys,
I am a college student and was given a lapto with The following Configuration
CPU-Intel Core i3 @2.1 Ghz:cool:
RAM-4GB:wink:
HDD-320GB
GPU-Intel HD graphics family:cry:
OS-Windows 7 Professional edition 64-bit
As an avid reader of digit and a enthusiast gamer i would like to Mod it up..
so can someone please tell me what all should i do to make it a decent gaming rig??
should i add a graphics card? the inbuild card has about 1.5 gb dedicated memory and runs games like crysis and COD on low settings good enough
When i install some games it says Open GL 1.1 or newer is required...
I have no idea about this problem...:???:
and I would also like to know if windows 64 bit is good enough to run games??

You can sell it and buy a new Laptop

Not possible. It probably won't have a pcie slot. Open it up and see if it has one.
You'll also have trouble finding a laptop GPU

Update Drivers
