Turning off the shadows definitely helped big time. I currently have a pretty similar system as you Mav, even with a slightly worse graphics card and with graphics settings on low and shadows off I am not suffering from lag anymore. Sure it doesn't look great but I can confirm the game is definitely playable with what you've got. I think the Dell Studio 15 is a laptop too so you are probably not going to be able to upgrade your graphics card but you should still look at upgrading ram as that will be very cheap/easy to do (I have 4Gb of ram and is the only thing my current laptop has you beat at).
If your still having problems with lag with shadows off let me know as there is an easy way to optimize your computer for gaming that might help.

I stopped by memory express yesterday and plan on upgrading the ram tonight. I'll let you know how it goes, thanks.
