I'm looking to exchange the laptop that I recently bought for something that will play Second Life more easily. The one I currently have freezes and crashes during the game and after some asking around, I discovered that the Intel graphics card isn't supported by Second Life.
Could someone please tell me if the specs under the cut will enable me smooth playing for the following recommendations from SL?
