    Hey sorry guys.. i know this has been posted many times and know that the intel extreme graphics 2 isnt meant for gaming.. but recently, Guild Wars has caught my eye.. and was wondering it my crappy integrated card would support it.. the specs for guild wars consists of:
    Minimum System Specs
    Windows® XP/2000/ME/98
    Intel Pentium® III 800 Mhz or equivalent
    256 MB RAM
    CD-ROM Drive
    2 GB Available HDD Space
    ATI Radeon 8500 or GeForce 3 or 4 MX Series Video Card with 32MB of VRAM
    16-bit Sound Card
    Internet connection
    Keyboard and mouse
    Recommended System Specs:

    Windows® XP/2000/ME/98
    Intel Pentium® III 1GHz or equivalent
    512 MB RAM
    CD-ROM Drive
    2 GB Available HDD Space
    ATI Radeon 9000 or GeForce 4 Ti Series Video Card with 64MB of VRAM
    16-bit Sound Card
    Internet connection
    Keyboard and mouse

    Is my 64mb Intel chip comparable to the geforce 3 or 4 mx 32mb?

    It should be able to handle it at low graphics settings...I have a friend who ran it on a GeForce2 MX with 64MB SDRAM. A lot of it would depend on the rest of your setup, IE amount of RAM and processor speed, but you should be able to play it.
