I'm lazy...and old...and not nearly as tech savvy as I used to be...

So I tried running the whole benchmark...worked great once from work (not where I'll be playing)- not so great the second time from home...will someone just tell me what and if I need to upgrade? I have an Alienware M17x with an Intel Core 2 Duo P8600 @ 2.4 GHz with 4 GB RAM, running 64 bit Vista Home Premium (I have the free upgrade to windows 7 but like I said...lazy :) ) It's running an NVIDIA GeForce 9400M G Graphics card. I'm running the benchmark at low res and still only coming up with a score around 174 with a load time of 46317. It's super jerky.

Short version of my question? What do I need to buy to upgrade my laptop so I can play without wanting to bang my head into a wall? Or is there something else I need to check?
 
I would suggest you amp up your video card, by a lot. Since its a laptop I dont know what you can upgrade as far as a CPU. But really, I would think the video card alone would help you quite a bit.
