I have a Laptop with AMD HD 6630M and Intel HD Graphics 3000 switchable graphics. Can I play Call of Duty and GTA on this notebook ( has core i5).

I am using the original system and drivers, and updated the drivers to the lastest from sony website.
Of course u cn,coz i hv played all of c.o.d games on my laptop.its a i3 2nd,1.5 GB Intel hd ,and 4 gig ram.nothing got wrong,and playin GtA san.andreas at ultra settings.so try.,good luck
Yes, you should be able to play Call of Duty easily with the Radeon HD 6630M ( 40 fps in high setting). Not sure about GTA
is there any big difference between corei3 2350m and 2310m considering they both have amd 6630m graphics
nanda gs,
Core i3-2350M is 2.30 GHz
Core i3-2350M is 2.10 GHz
This makes a theoretical difference of 9.5% in CPU performance. In real life computing the difference may be big enough to make you feel it, unless you are compiling programs or some sort of things that takes more than a few seconds to complete.
Take a look at

so World of Warcraft would run pretty well on a laptop with a second gen. i5, 4gb ram with AMD HD 6630m graphics driver?

Stay away from PC Games. Keep your kids away from Games – save your kids health and money for yourself.
Video games lead to addictions similar to the alcoholic and drug addiction. It makes children less interactive in society. Their quality of speech and interaction with other is negatively affected. The health problem multiplies. PC games are not like real games that where you derive physical benefits by being more physically active.
Stand against PC games. Do not buy PC games for your kids – the same way you do not buy a Cigarette for your kids.
