I have a Dell Inspiron 5160 laptop with an NVidia GeForce Go 5200 64 MB video card. I am wondering if it is better than the NVidia Geforce 2 series cause I have a couple games (Civ 4 and C&C Generals) that say on their boxes the system requirments are GeForce 2 for the video card. Anyway, these games run real slow and im wondering if its my graphics card that's the problem. My laptop has a 3.2 Ghz processor and 512 mb of RAM so it seems as though to be a fast computer. It runs hot however and the fan is always blowing like crazy so it could be that...

Generals is actually quite intensive on system resources, a 5200 is the equivalent to a geforce 5 which is alot better than 2, when they say minimum thats usually what you need just for it to run it doesnt actually mean playable, as a general rule of thumb unless you have close to the reccomended it wont run very well.
