The game is playable on my laptop which has 64mb of integrated ATI
graphics. Performance is slow and many features are turned off. (By
default.) On the flipside, I upgraded the video card in my desktop
to a Geforce FX 5200 with 256mb of RAM. It was not an expensive
card and the performance lift is amazing. You might consider a
small investment.

it will work, depends what RAM you have, if you have 512 MB or over of DDR
memory and a decent processor (2ghz + pentium or AMD 2500+) amd processors
seem to be able to handle the load better than intels

i have a 1.9ghz AMD (AMD2600+) it works smoothly

T&L will almost likely be on your card if it is nvidia AGP card or even PCI
card, if it is onboard it may not be

even so the requiremnt is to have Textures and layers on systems with less
than 2 ghz+ processor otherwise its ok
