Guild Wars specifications help?

Question

I want to buy a Sony VAIO laptop with:

200 gb hdd

2 gb ram

Intel GL960 graphics integrated

Windows Vista Home Premium

How well will it run Guild Wars: Prophecies or Factions?

Answer 1

other than the slightly underwheling integrated graphics, you should be fine.. you'll get better framerates at lower resolutions though

Answer 2

It should run fine.

Answer 3

Guild Wars can run quite nice on crappy system specs, but you're still dealing with no-name (well, intel) integrated graphics. Don't EXPECT to play any modern games at a smooth rate using graphics like that, just get one with more well-known graphics processor models by nVidia or ATI.

Otherwise, check out some reviews on how the integrated graphics performs. It will almost certainly run, just perhaps slow or with visual bugs.
