Sounds like a nice computer. I don't see why it wouldnt at all. nVidia is a very common brand with driver support and the card supports directx so there will be no issues.

I run EQ2 on a Dell N5110 laptop with Nvidia 525M in Win 7 / 64-bit Pro without issues.

You need to go into the Nvidia control panel and set Nvidia as the default GPU for all applications, otherwise you're only running Intel video (on CPU) instead of Nvidia, with lowered performance. My CPU is I5/2.4-2.9 Ghz depending on mood and time of day (CPU temp). Performance profile in game is set to "performance"; you could set to "balanced". I wouldn't choose "quaility" on a laptop.

Your laptop will have no serious issues for running EQ2.

Sure will! However ive heard of some issues with SLI in EQ2, you should be able to disable one of those cards if you run in to any technical issues and the game should run just fine on one of em SMILEY
