Graphics Card Type INTEL UMA To enable images to be displayed on your monitor
Graphics Memory 128mb UMA MB The higher the memory the better quality images you are display

If someone could tell me if it would work from that, that would be great.
Laptops generally aren't very good for games. You might have a decent CPU etc but its the graphics card where you'll suffer. Integrated Intel GPUs are really quite pants. Play a DVD and do all the pretty Vista stuff but forget modern games. Heck even the nvidia 8 series in my laptop isn't that great as it lacks the cooling etc to really perform.

If you want to know the details of what your graphics card supports, type "dxdiag" in the run box.

Would I be right in thinking that you'd be the HMV employee that I have some occassional UFC/MMA chat with?

Does your laptop run Football Manager without any problems? Yes, I thought it would.

Where's the problem???

The problem is FM08 having annoying bugs where after the 2nd Scottish Season no fixtures are arranged! 2 amazing season with East Fife gone to shit. Not in a 'starting a new game' mood just now.

I spoke to a girl in Game earlier who said they cant reserve copies anymore but they will still be seeling some in the store at 11.00 tonight and 7.00 tommorow morning. I live around the corner so i think i might head along and try my luck.

I have a pre order with Game but was hoping that a supermarket would have it as it is open all night rather than Game as that wouldnt be open all night

not bothered much bout it myself. football is on the morrow and I would probably be playing FIFA anyways over any game. Online is the future.
