what is the video chipset in the laptop? If it is a Intel GMA chances are it may not run at all. A latop with a discrete chipset like Nvidia or ATI will be a better bet for running the game. As far as FPS - depends on the system and graphics settings you have.

Load times are anyone's guess to many variables to give a validated answer. Have had 15 second load times and 4 minute load times of a ultra high end desktop

I have a laptop with a GTS 250m which is basically the same thing (only a lower clock speed ) and I can run EQ2 at the "Extreme" settings (minus shadows) at 1920x1080 with about 25fps on average.
