Hello,

I want to buy laptop Toshiba Satellite C640-X4012
Configuration is Intel i5-2nd Generation 2430M with 2.2 Ghz. 4GB Ram (DDR3) SD RAM. Intel HD Graphics.

Now the question is that Can I play games like GTA IV, Halo 2 and 3 or any high games on this laptop ?

 
Solution
I have had a laptop that had a seperate graphics card that was plugged into a slot in the motherboard. With todays laptops they may have gotten away from that process I don't know , I would have to do some reasearch to find out exactly but for now it appears that the Nvidia gforce 540m is an intergrated graphics chip that is better than the intergrated graphics that is on the cpu (Hd 3000 or Hd 2000) , and you should be fine playing your games.
