    I did NOT see that coming...I bought the game expecting I'd have to play on the lowest resolution with low detail, but I can play it (The Movies Premiere DVD Edition) at 1024x768 on high detail with these specs:

    Dell Inspiron 6400
    1 GB RAM
    Windows XP Home
    Core Duo @ 1.6 Ghz
    Intel GMA 950

    For a game that claims it needs Hardware TnL to even run...it works perfectly on the GMA 950 on high...I'm absolutely surprised!

    I don't think that game has any 3D renderings; and integrated doesn't mean it has no 3D ability, it's just severely lacking in comparison to what's available on dedicated GPU's

    Yes, 3 year old Sims/Tycoon type game.

    Its requirements were considered low-end even back then.
