Inspiron 6000 Graphics Question

Jerryc · 2005-11-24 18:29:36

Hi, I bought an Inspiron 6000 recently with 128MB shared graphics (yeah!, crappy I know). I really want to get my hands on GTA San Andreas (& play on this laptop). The min graphics are spec'ed at 64MB (GeForce3 or better). Will my graphics memory be capable of running this game? Ta

Are you sure it's shared - I thought they came with an X300 with dedicated?

It'll probably run, but not well..

Nope. The X300 is an optional component. I'm not gamer but I've played NFS2 without any difficulty on my 6000. Maybe you could download a playable demo to see how it runs?
