As for the BSOD - I find it hard to believe that you can get a BSOD from a lack of memory because Windows has virtual memory. It should slow down if there is insufficient memory, as pages are swapped between the HDD and physical memory. So I would think there is something wrong with the laptop itself. If it's known to crash when you run heavy games and runs hot, maybe you need to get it serviced.

Either way, I would suggest just waiting for a while, unless you already have reasons to drop the game. Whether your laptop is 10 years old or not, this game is just a 2D game after all. True, but thats the thing. One thing is this being a new game and i would be like "i need to upgrade/get a new pc to play it" other completely different thing is the fact that until, what, 5 days ago the max ram usage by chrome would be 800mb if that much, hell until 2 years ago i would play this game just fine on a windows 7 pc with pentium 4 3 ghz and 1gb ram.
