Hey guys. I want to get and play Warhammer Online. I did a Can You Run It? check and it says my laptop fails!!

It says I fail since I have an integrated chipset for a Video card, but all the requirements the card would need are there. I also, noticed, as a test, that this thing says I don't have the cpu power to play Spore, yet I have no issues with it.

So Evilbore, will my system play this game? Even if its at minumum settings I want to be able to play it.

Any suggestions? I know pc games are usually non refundable.


Edit: As a side note, the same test site says I cannot run Spore, yet I can play it on my laptop fine.

Warhammer is pretty beastly compared to WoW, and the game can really crunch on low-end hardware when you start to get into large RvR scuffles-the gem of the game.

I'd say pass with that video chipset. You'll probably run into a huge amount of texture swapping that you won't see from Spore due to the vastly different graphic engines from the two games.
