You can get laptops with ATI Radeon Mobility 300 graphics cards, which work fine for TS2. Just get at least 128Mb on the video, preferably 256Mb if it's available.
Thank you I will look for that!

AMD 64 Processor 3200+, 3 GHz processor
I think you got your gigahertzes mixed up. I used to have the same processor, Athlon 64 3200+, and it's only 1,8 GHz. My current processor, Athlon 64 3800+ is 2,4 GHz.

It's a common confusion. The short version being that In the Beginning, when all processors were similar, people got used to measuring the performances in MHz and the GHz. Of course, clock rate isn't the true measure of computer performance, but the average peasant doesn't really understand this, so when they basically couldn't really improve clock speeds any faster, and started getting computers to go faster by other methods, which actually had lower clock rates, it'd be a tough sell to try to peddle a 1.8 GHz machine as "faster" than someone's former 2 GHz machine. It just wouldn't sell. So they started just tagging numbers like "3200" onto the thing, and then small-printing the actual clockrate.

In the case of AMD processors, its invariably because of the dual core (so AMD 4200 at 2.2 GHz gets about 4400 bogomips).

Wow, I've never seen or heard that word before. What's a bogomip?
