works fine, but graphics won't be best possible

I mean, the game works as it should, but for best possible performance you should update ram to at least 1GB and install a better graphics card

If someone knows better, feel free to correct...

It'll work but the graphics will suck. Anything over 640 x 480 will probably be choppy as hell. This is the problem with people who go to a store and buy a computer without doing any research. Your computer is a glorified word processor and web browser. Anything remotely intensive (games, spreadsheets) will run like shit on it. Integrated graphics = complete crap. It means that they built in a graphics card (the good ones which cost $500) into your $70 motherboard. How good do you think that integrated graphics is at that price?

You better hope that you have an available AGP or PCI-Express slot. Cause if all you have is a PCI slot, uuuuggghh. You won't even be able to upgrade it. Lots of vendors like Dell, HP, Gateway don't even give you a motherboard that allows for upgrades.

you should buy a new video card, the best would be having atleast 256mb memory and having a 128 bit memory bus. Integrated or built in graphics doesn't work that good with games because games nowadays are designed to run with high requirements and built in graphics cards simply can't cope with that. since you have a pci-e slot on your mboard it would be easy for you to buy one. by the way, don't be fooled by video cards that boast of high memory (like having 512mb or 256mb ddr3) if the memory bus is only 64 bit, don't bother, look for something that has atleast 128 bit of memory bus. it's not about the memory.

Well integrated graphics card arent always bad. I have a Geforce 6 series and that came intergrated and it plays Live 07 great so it just depends on the model or maker, but yeh on normal occasions, like my last computer...that sucked horribly lol.

I don't think a 6 series is really an integrated video card. We're talking about the junk like Intel's Graphic "Accelerator" or the like. Absolutely horrendous.

I have a vendetta against those pieces of trash because I bought a Dell onetime and those artards neglected to tell me that the motherboard doesn't have an AGP slot. I had bought the cheapo machine assuming I could easily upgrade the video card. I was stuck using a PCI (not Express) card that sucked balls.
