    Hi,

    I'm planning to buy either the HP Pavillion 6157 or 6174 in the next couple of days, both of which come with a Nvidia GeForce Go7400 graphics card (128MB dedicated, 128MB Hypermemory). I'd like to use the laptop to play games every now and then, but mainly adventure games which as far as i know do not need as strong graphics as other games like FEAR etc (which i won't be playing).
    I'm hoping to play Dreamfall: The Longest Journey, but the 7400 graphics card is not listed as a supported card on the website. Will it be able to play this, and similar games? I don't think I need to play on the highest settings (At the moment I have the ATI Mobility Radeon 7500 in a Thinkpad T30, and have played games like Syberia II and have been fairly happy with the performance).

    I'd really appreciate any help. Thanks a lot!

    ATI Radeon: 9550, 9600, 9700, X300, X500, X600, X700, X800, X1300, X1600, X1800
    Nvidia Geforce: FX 5700, FX 5900, FX 5950, 6200, 6600, 6800, 7800

    It's not on the list, yeah, but if it supports previous generation (6200, FX5700) cards (and some x300 radeon), I'd really expect it to run on 7400 too.

    The Go 7400 should run the game.
