the answer is No
sorry for the disappointment but your video card won't handle the game.
the game needs a very good video card, and Intel 965 is built-in so no Pixel Shader nor Vertex Shader.
Laptops are not meant for games, at least next gen games...

did you say you have a video card (is this a desktop) and you're using the onboard video still?

[RockmasteR]

and the minimum RAM requirements is 1 gig not 2
I finished the game using a 1 gig of RAM (with some issues but later solved)
