should work fine, but with 256 RAM it will seem slow when you run more then 1 program, actually really slow. You might wanna upgrade that if possible on that laptop not sure bout that.
Nah, it will be fine. I've run D2 on my 700 mhz 128 ram computer forever. I do think you got ripped off, though. I bought a Dell around 6 months ago that was 2.4 ghz and 512 ram with 40 GB hard drive, and got it for 800 dollars.
