Hello there, i am looking to purchase a new LAPTOP and i am a bit of a cheap skate. I am looking to get CNC3 for it and want to know wether it will run on an Integrated graphics card.

Of course the second laptop is the better value for money though there is no garentee it can run the game i want it to play

These are the System requirements for CNC3
System requirements

* Windows XP/Vista 32-bit only
* XP 2.0 GHz / Vista 2.2 GHz Processor (Single Core)
* XP 512 MB RAM / Vista 1 GB RAM
* 8x DVD drive

* DirectX 9.0c compatible video card - GeForce 4 Ti, ATI Radeon 8500, Intel GMA 900 or better
* DirectX 9.0c compatible sound card
* 56 Kbp/s Internet connection for online play


If you know wether or not the integrated graphics cards can run this game could you let me know?

Because i dont know much about laptops and I DONT WANT TO GET RIPPED OFF

I dont want to spend over 400 pounds

THANKS!

I think the laptops there should do fine. i do not think there will be a problem although i would suggest getting something with proper GPU, since it will play the game properly
