What are the rest of your specs? Sounds like your video card isnt the best thing out there.

The Intel Video cards are not that great for gaming, try updating the drivers and bumping down the resolution/game settings to see if that helps at all

I don't know, if you turn it down to the lowest settings and see how that runs and go from there.

for COD4 the whole laptop is underpowered for it.

Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (if system requirements don't show up, there's a little link to the right on that page that says "show" click it & the box with the requirements will show up.

the RAM you have is enough, but the CPU is underpowered, even though its a Dual core, its a Celeron Dual Core none the less, a severely gimped Core 2 series dual core.

Video card is showing you need a Geforce 6600 Class or better, the newer Intel GMA 4500M's are better than their old 3xxx series chips, but still no where near what is needed for the game.

willing to bet its your CPU & GPU holding back that game.

with the specs for that laptop you gave, its safe to bet it was never designed or intended for gaming, at all, multimedia use & light 2D Photoshop stuff maybe, but for 3D gaming forget about it.
