Onboard SIS-630 grahic card and Windows XP

Archived from groups: alt.games.need-for-speed (More info?)

Can anybody play need for speed underground with a notebook and Windows XP?
The notebook has an onboard SIS-630 grahic card and 32mb ram. On my notebook
the game don't not start and don't give any a message.

Thanks

Even if it would run, I think a SiS630 would be seriously underpowered for
this game.

I doubt it. Windows XP doesn't run on 32MB of RAM. Also, the SiS630 uses
shared video memory; it has no memory of its own.
