Dude, I don't know if this is gonna fly...

Ram and Cpu look good.. only question is whether the video card will play nicely. My laptop has similar specs and it worked fine after turning down a few settings.

The video card hardware is heavily under spec. Maybe you could try using low size textures and rlcompat instead of unshadowed as renderer but I'd suggest getting a video card if possible
