[QUOTE="DigitalSword, post: 185215, member: 7892"] [b]...[/b] Mulder, dont listen to these nubs, actually consult help with someone who knows what they are talking about. The Facts: With an Intel integrated card your game will suck ass, while the name implies 64mb of ram the Actual physical memory is 8mb, the card integrates system memory into video card memory throughsome sort of transfer for basic video/graphical programs. This transfer is the epitome of intels actual sell-point, "extreme".... extremely slow that is, creating severe latency on all marks. My New Dell XPS laptop has 128mb of integrated intel goodness, but it is still 8mb, transferred to 128 through system memory and i get 50 fps on average which is playable, but not very good.(although i wreck u guys all the time with it). Bottom Line: NO MATTER WHAT YOU DO, if you have an integrated video card, your gameplay will suffer, there is no setting you can disable, there is no sneak, hack, overclock, tweak, boost, etc.. that will get you more performance from an integrated video card. More SYStem memory could help, but your talking about a $75+ investment for single digits if framerate. I also have a 32 mb video card that is stand-alone and ancient. This card still runs the game horribly. Keep in mind that that "system requirements" section on the side of the box implies MINIMUM hardware, and they arent joking, its a sell point, and itll get you to the main menu but good luck even loading. Be sure your machine has the "recommended requirements" before purchasing any game or you will be severely dissappointed, and poor. The verdict: You need a stand-alone video card, with integrated you can play 4-5 year old games to speed and thats about it. Tips: Ebay, NewEgg. Purchase a 256mb video card and never have an issue for a few years to come. And if youve already bought system memory, good, itll help with the new card. DS...out [/QUOTE]
