Common sense is not as common as you think.

I wouldn't trust that site personally. Seems to be pretty inaccurate especially where laptops are concerned. Its comparison of GFX cards is horrible and that's the main thing which will determine if you can play a game or not. It thinks all 256mb GFX cards are equal pretty much, as long as they have all the shaders etc available to them (which is obviously not true).

According to this site my laptop surpasses the requirements for Dead Rising 2 significantly, but when I played it, it was pure slideshow.

Although I hate to endorse it really the only way to know if your computer can handle a game is to try it, borrow a friends copy or "try before you buy" ;)

PC's, especially laptops, are far too temperamental.
