I don't know. Prognosis isn't promising though, TBH I'd be very surprised if could actually start the game with that PC.

But if you manage to get E: D to run on that thingy at all, I'm afraid it will be 0-10 FPS with low settings at 640x480 and the poor laptop on the verge of shutting itself off because of overheating all the time.
