My laptop has an intel 945GM. Although I usually play trials on my 8600GTS desktop, do you think my crappy lappy would be able to run it?

All these Intel chipsets with integrated graphics adapter run Trials 2 Second Edition fine.
i only play in the low end graphics mode... i feel like im missing out when i watch videos on youtube and the graphics look incredible!!!
hay
i think that will run it on full gfx (its about $160 i think)http://www.videocardshop.co.uk/product.asp?session=@@@@@@@@@@@@AQYHFR405261-0UTCQS@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@&prodid=PV-T71J-YHF4
have you tryed running it on full gfx but in windowed mode and low(sih) rezilution
Geforce 7950 is definitely fast enough to run the ultra high mode smoothly. We have many of those here at work, and the game runs fine even on 1920x1200 resolution (and is smooth as butter in 1650x1080 resolution).Originally Posted by Skyth
However I suggest buying Geforce 9600 GT instead if you can find one. It's only around 20$ more expensive, and much faster.
im still having trouble with that slowdown thing, its ok for the first 10-15 mins of play but then it goes all slideshow on me for about ten seconds then goes back to normally. and it keeps doing this every couple of minutes or so.
