Quick Half life 2 question (video card)
I'm thinking of buying Half Life 2 to play on my laptop but am not sure whether it will run well, or at all. The laptop has an internal Mobile Intel (R) 4 Series Express Chipset Family. I'm not completely computer illiterate but am far from an expert when it comes to graphics cards. Here is more information: Total available graphics memory: 1290 MB Dedicated Video Memory: 32 MB System Video Memory: 96 MB Shared System Memory: 1162 MB The rest of the laptops specs are fairly comfortably above the minimum requirements to play the game so it's the video card that worries me. Thanks for any comments. -- Usefulidiot |

Thanks for any comments. If you go to this site, it will tell you if your card can run it. Its not 100%, but it should give you an idea. 'Can You Run It' (http://cyri.systemrequirementslab.com/srtest/) Hope this helps, good luck and post your results. -- stoneys-nutz Expecting a reply from me and it has been over 24 hours ?.

Well judging by that website the computer should run the game ok. Everything passed the minimum test, and when I hit recommended the only thing that didn't meet the requirements was the video card. That will be a very useful website for future reference as well. Thanks for your help. -- Usefulidiot |
