I have probably the worst graphics card ever. It's the Mobile Intel 4 Series Express Chipset Family. Which as far as I know, has only 64MB of dedicated video ram.
I was playing Fallout New Vegas and entered an area that I had to load. Once I was done in that area, I tried to leave but the game kept crashing while trying to leave. So I messed around with the launcher settings and eventually put the game to max settings just for fun. Shockingly, I was able to play the game in that area without any lag at all. I don't really remember if it fixed the crash or not or if I ever ended up fixing it.
My laptop is the Gateway M-Series (Specifically the M-7332h)
Yep. And you were right when you said processor. Memory card can really mean anything such as Solid State Drive, possibly RAM, maybe an SD memory card.
