It looks like that the graphic card can't be upgraded. Did you try the demo? How does it run?

I dl'ed the demo and it works but it is unbearably slow to the point of being unplayable

And lowering some/most/all of the options didn't help either, right?

Then you are out of luck. Sorry.

I also have the Dell Inspiron 1545 and Gettysburg runs excellent on it. I have everything turned to "Best" in the graphics section and the drawing modes the farthest settings. I have no clipping at all.

Yep would they, but just in case try the demo before you buy it.
