Modelling

I've spent a long time trying to bisect the arms off of altair to make him into a better model with arms by his side. 3ds max is a stupid program and i hate it. I have decided to put a trailer of assasins creed in to show the hangee's crimes, who is then altair. He is going to be guarded by one or two guards who i have painstakingly spent an hour + changing the textures of. Im not even sure if my laptop will run the game with entities in it, as when i load a previously working gallows code it wont run, so i think i need a more powerful computer. Main problem is, We only have laptops now since our old pc died. Oh well...at least i have 8gb+ of pc ram sitting in my drawer :(
