I am trying to pick a laptop out for my father and I really only have one question left. Are integrated graphics enough for Myst IV. He loves to play the game and has been disappointed that he can't play it on his current laptop that is quite a few years old. I'm looking at the Sony FZ line and the HP dv6500t and both have the option of integrated graphics or discrete graphics. Unfortunately, I'm not really sure of the requirements for Myst IV.

Windows 98SE/ME/2000/XP

128 MB of RAM (256 MB for Windows XP)
32 MB video card
DirectX 9.0 compliant sound card
4X DVD Drive
3 GB of Hard Drive Space (8 GB recommended)
800x600 display

any card can handle this game, but you can't go wrong with dedicated graphic cards... so yes, go for the dedicated cards... -
I tried the latest Myst End of Ages on my 2ghz core2duo macbook with integrated graphics (can't remember what the integrated graphics chip is I'm afraid) and I have to say it really struggled. It did work to a degree but it's far from enjoyable to play if you're used to smooth graphics and animations. I gave up on it in the end and stuck it on my desktop pc (games with dual platform disks are great!).

Integrated graphics will play it most likely but it wouldn't help to do a Google search and see what people are playing it on.
I'd recommend getting the dedicated graphics card because that will give your father some headroom to play some more advanced games. You never know if a sequel or something will come out. -
integrated graphics with a good RAM and dual core can let u play games on decent settings but integrated graphic cards arent really meant for games released after 2005
integrated graphics enough for Myst IV?
