    Has anyone gotten C&C Red Alert 3 running decently on a Studio 15? I don't have 50 bucks to burn so I want to make sure it works well before I buy it. Any help would be appreciated.

    It should run, however, at the lowest settings. The graphics candy goes pretty high so you might not get to enjoy that on your laptop. if you decide to do it however, you should let us know how it works.
