I have an intel graphics card does that mean the program will just run slow or does it mean it won't run at all?

Thanks for the help

Both sound about right. IF you get SL to work, its not going to run right, you may see some messed up textures, have crashes, lots of lag, etc etc, id recommend a new video card, to meet the requirements of SL, doesn't take too much money. Unless you want to run it on a laptop.

Hi I'm running it on a latop so does that make a lot of difference. I know it is going to be harder to change graphics card on a laptop anyway

Well about the changeing video card. Most laptops (espessialy Dells) dont have AGP slots, or are unable to convert in some other way.

I played on a laptop with an Intel card through version 1.6 but upgraded with 1.7 because it was terminally slow and had constant problems rendering, even ordering, textures correctly.
