That config will most certainly run well. I run the premium graphics content on my Dell Latitude (2GHz Core 2 Duo, 2GB RAM, Nvidia Quadro NVS 140 graphics) and I can tell you, I have no complaints.
BTW, you can check the minimum and recommended system requirements for the client you are downloading on the download page.

Eve classic client will run on practically anything that can run Windows XP.
I got a $450 EEE 1000h and it runs Eve just fine.

You should definitely be able to play multiple classic graphic clients and most likely premium ones too.

1. DO NOT get a Gateway
2. Vista needs 3GB of memory.
You should be fine with those two considerations listed.

What amuses me is that people would insult any brand then state they are waiting for an alienware as if it is some example of solid engineering...

@the op: your laptop will be fine but you may wish to invest in a laptop cooler, they tend to get a little toasty after several hours.

That's a huge laptop, and it probably has <30min battery life. 
Why not get a desktop for 1/3 the price?

If you're after dual Nvidias i can heartily recommend a Dell.
I got an M1730 2 months ago with the following spec:
17" 1920x1200 screen
2x 512mb 8800GTX
T9300 2.5Ghz 6Mb Cache
4 Gb DDR II
Had absolutley no problems with it and it was very competitively priced. And in the 2 months since I bought mine the same model now includes a 2x200Gb RAID array for the same price I payed for my single 200Gb.
Always the way innit.

To the OP: I play Eve on a Gateway P-7811FX and it runs just fine. Specs are:
P8400 Core2Duo 2.27GHz
4GB DDR2 RAM
nVidia GeForce 9800M GTS
Vista 64-bit (has some memory leaks for sure)
Read many reviews before I bought it and numerous credible sources say its the best gaming laptop for under 1400 dollars, and frankly it blows its competition out of the water. And its also Black/Orange which is sexy

I have been using a gateway laptop to run EVE for about 4 months and it works perfectly. I can run 500 person fleet fights without lag on premium and I can run top notch games on fairly high graphics settings.
This is my system info for the OP:
P-7811FX
Core 2 duo CPU 2.27GHz
4 GB
64-bit operating system
9800M GTS
and that is really all I know to put down, not a computer person

I run EVE on my Acer Aspire 7520g. Processor is the AMD *something*-62 (2Ghz), 3 Gigs of RAM, Geforce 8600M GS.
It can run two EVE-Online clients on Premium very well but if I turn on bloom and that other shenanigan setting it drops the frame rate to a crawl.
I'm quite content with the laptop except the processor was a disappointment (Well it's AMD so didn't have extremely high hopes for it).
And when I looked at your specs I can pretty much guarantee that it will run EVE-Online superbly! (I'm a bit jealous tbh)
Out of curiousity to other people who play EVE-Online on laptops how hot does your laptop get?
Do you have some sort of special cooling pad for it?
Ninja edit: Could some people explain the hate/love for Gateway/Alienware in a bit more precise manner please? Thank you.

well i have been researching laptops for several months now and alienware and lenova seem to have the best designs and cases. i looked closely at the gateways and other cheap brands and i could not get my self to even consider those cheap/flimzy designs that look like if you open the lid to fast it will break..
On another note, the nvidea GPUs 8000 series have defective substrata that over heats and goes bad after continual use. Nvidea has even anounced it on there web site and Hp and dell have extended warrenties on many models with 8000 series cards in them. all notebook manufacturers have had problems with notebooks going bad if they have used these nvidea cards. its not ALL cards but alot of them.. all you have to do is google "nvidea defective GPUs" or go to DELL website forums and look for the thread with 1000s of posts about the issue.
That is why i am waiting for a notebook with solid construction "alienware" and with a new GPU. i will not buy an 8000 series card. and that includes 8400, 8600, 8800. also alienware has uses replaceable GPUs so they can be upgraded.
If you have a desktop you realy dont have to worry about this problem as they dont heat the cards up so much and run into the problem.

I have an Alienware laptop with 2 512mb graphic cards a core 2 processor and 2 gigs of ram and EVE runs and looks excellent. The only drawback is the amount of heat coming out of the back. If I have it balanced on my knees for any length of time, it can result in blisters :)

Just out of interest how long have you had it and been running EvE on it mate?

I had an Alienware a few years ago, it was the biggest piece of **** laptop I've ever had the misfortune of dealing with. They even managed to out-do Packard Bell for shoddy craftsmanship and service, which is quite a feat.
It took them two months to ship it, when I got it the RAM was bad. Replaced it, had to call Microsoft to get Windows to activate as they'd used the same key to install god knows how many copies instead of the one on the sticker.
After that it ran OKish, except during any kind of heavy gaming it would overheat and crash. Eventually the video card burned itself up and when I got my replacement (a month later) I founnd out why - they'd installed thermal tape such that it was BLOCKING the vents on the bottom, so there was no air flow.
Patched it up as best I could, but I still had frequent (though no longer constant) overheating issues. Eventually the RAM failed again, and about a year after I got it, the video card died again and I found out my system was no longer supported so I'd have to scrounge for a replacement. Instead I sold it for scrap on E-bay and got an HP, which lasted several years until I got my current laptop (an EEE, which as I said above, runs Eve just fine if you can live with the tiny screen - I've been doing almost daily pvp and fleet ops out as part of Factional Warfare and the only issue I have is that I can't get on voice, which is more because of my crappy connection than the computer itself. It's really a great piece of tiny hardware, I'm still in shock that it's so cheap - it's spec's (aside from screen size) are actually superior to my old laptop which I played Eve on for years when I was away from my desktop).
TLDR: I'm not the only ones to have these problems with Alienware - search CNet or any reputable site that posts user reviews. Don't buy the hype. Don't buy Alienware. You WILL be sorry.
