Unfortunately, with a laptop, there isn't much option for you. If your laptop has shared video memory, Increasing the RAM will in most cases allow the video card to use more memory. Do you know what video card your laptop has? Mine has and Intel HD, which is the lowest requirement for the game. While the game is playable, it is FAR from ideal. I normally don't play on my laptop, but it is nice to be able to when I want to. I just upgraded from 3GB ram to 6GB ram, and saw some improvement.
