Need the GPU, but Celeron probably won't.
-
where in the computer do i find that?
-
Depending on where you found that computer there might not be a dedicated graphics card...where are you looking?
BTW...to find a graphics card it will say something like "ATI" or "nVidia" and then a few numbers/letters.

I have a laptop that's probably about the same as yours. I can play the game but it's far from optimal. The video card can't handle the video so there's a dark line about an inch and a half along the horizon. If a plane is close enough to you in the middle of the screen you'll see him but the rest of the horizon is all dark. You'll also get low frame rates.
You probably won't be able to play on battery power. If I started up the game on battery it would just sit there, frozen. You couldn't play it. Cooling might be an issue, too. The only time I ever heard the fan go on in my laptop was when I'd start up Aces High. I wouldn't even have to start playing, just starting the game would cause the fan to go on. I never had an overheating problem that I knew of but I suppose it could happen to other laptops.
Despite all the above, I played for some months on my laptop and actually improved my game. Once I got my Alienware system up and running again, I stopped using the laptop for the game entirely. There's just no going back from an Alienware.
About the only way to know for sure if your system will handle it is to do what I did and give it a try.

Not 900mhz, its the series of Celeron. It's 2.2Ghz 800mhs FSB. It wouldn't be 900mhz in the first place since he has 2Gb DD2. It would have had SDRAM yet.

I found out that i have a Directs 9 graphics processor with WDDM driver model 1.0 is that a good enough graphic card?

Viper. It seems that your laptop can handle the game. The only thing you need to worry about is frame rate issues. Install the game and try running it. You will see what I mean by frame rates later on. To fix the frame rate issues, you will need to purchase a graphics card that is compatible for your laptop.

No way but to go wrong with a genuine celeron..
Another tic-toc warp machine to the skies.

That's just the software interface to whatever graphics card you may have.
Best would be if you gave us the model number and make of the laptop, or a link to a webpage describing it.

I'm afraid your laptop's videocard will have a hard time handling Aces High II

This is the killer for this laptop "Intel® Graphics Media Accelerator 4500M" its a chip on the MB and not a graphics card. It may play the game, but at very low framerates even with the graphics turned way down.

what is the fram rate on aces high if i put on low detail?

You have a very weak CPU and a very weak GPU, your framerates will be very low even on low settings.

You won't know until you load the game and run it. A decent frame rate (V-synch on) is 45-60. Based on the other replies, I don't you'll see anything close to that. Frame rate of 20 - 30 is playable but visually annoying. Anything under 20 will give you migraines.
