All I can say on the matter is that I definitely had huge issues running Bessarabia and Slovakia, etc. I wouldn't think about running the Solomons, but even on the small online maps I would encounter occasional, but drastic loss of frame rates. I noticed my laptop was getting really hot, but I dismissed it. Suddenly I got a "Blue Screen of Death".

Doh!

I took it apart and cleaned out 1/2 cm pad of DUST from the heat sink. Now it runs cool and I have no problems, and Bessarabia runs as smoothly as Smolensk. I don't have a top-of-the-line machine either.

Note: This has to be done every couple years or so, but it's recommended to take it to a specialist who knows what he's doing. You take a big risk going in there yourself.
