OK, I was concerned that my laptop would not run Resident Evil 5, but after some digging I found out that it can be run with an on average at 60fps rate. I posted a benchmark video on youtube to show that even using FRAPS, it runs on average at 50-54.4 fps rate. These are the optimal specs, and I include my laptop specs

OS: Windows XP / Vista --[My laptop runs Windows 7 Pro 64-bit]
CPU: Intel Core 2 Quad Processor or higher --[My laptop has an Intel Core™ i7-2630QM @ 2.00 GHz]
RAM: XP: 1GB or more / Vista: 2GB RAM or more. --[My laptop has 8GB RAM]
Video Card: 512MB VRAM*3 or more, NVIDIA GeForce 9800 series or higher --[a]

Note that my GPU chip is an NVIDIA® GeForce® GT 540M with 1GB of GDDR3 discrete graphics memory [a], and thus I was not sure awhile back if my laptop was capable of playing this game. I hope this post helps others. Anyhow, here you can find my youtube test run, and thanks to this forum for all the advice.
