No graphics card, no play?

[LaetitiaSadier]

<p>since I'm using a laptop, i cannot replace my graphics card, does that mean I cannot play this game? or is it just that I have to turn it to the "High performance" setting?</p>

Some laptops come with dedicated video chipsetrs by ATI or Nvidia - these can probably run the game but depending on the configuration no idea what performance level</p>

<p>beware it willbe difficult to get EQ to install on an intel GMA graphics adapter</p>

It also comes in multiple configurations depending on what manufacturer of the laptop paid intel for depends on what enhancements are kept inthe chipset.</p><p>All in all it is a poor choice for a gaming video chipset. While it may work it will be badly perfomance challenged</p>
