It'll be slow unless you turn the details down. What speed is the processor and what brand is the laptop?

vaio 2.4ghz and win xp thanks again
I can't say for sure, but I think it will be a little laggy. The speed of the processor is good, but most laptops are bogged down by very slow hard drives. Basically you'll be able to play, but you will have to turn down some of the visual details.
Also, I'm not 100% sure that video card will hold up well with only 32MB of memory. I also don't know if it's T&L enabled. I'm not well versed in ATI products.

Vid card has to be 64Mg or higher. Even the 64Mg is not going to be the nicer graphics...but you can do it.
Also you will find that the laptop will lag and become really choppy without the powersupply plugged in.

I am guessing Sony Vaios don't use Celerons, so it must be a 2.4G P4. The video card is a toss-up. You might be lucky if you run on low settings.
Laptops aren't the best thing to use for gaming, mainly for heating/cooling problems.
