Laptop SC4

Hiya! I was just wondering if Sim City 4 is recommended for the laptop. I know I installed it on my first laptop a while back and the hard drive died soon after. I know it wasn't the program, but I worry it was from moving my 3+GB of plugins onto my computer. Do you think a laptop with these stats (my everyday laptop, see below) could handle it all? Also, otherwise would it be worth it to just reinstall all plugins? Thanks.

Hewlett-Packard, Pavilion dv6, AMD A8-3500M APU with Radeon Graphics 1.50hZ, 64-bit operating system, 8GB RAM (7.48 GB available). I think that's all the important stuff.

Laptop?  Sure why not?  The only problem might be if it is a slim-line laptop without enough cooling.  Some of these will shut down or degrade if they heat up, but try it and see.  When one of your cores goes to 100% and things are getting hot, your machine should handle it.
