Will I be able to play Guild War Factions?

Hey guys, I'm new to the forum here. I have been playing a trial version of World of Warcraft recently and while I've enjoyed it, I'd much rather skip the monthly fees and enjoy what seems to be a more action packed game in Guild Wars.

My question is whether or not my system will run Guild Wars Factions.

Dell inspiron e1405
windows vista premium
1 gb ram, 80 gb hd
intel mobile 945GM chipset, 32 mb
intel core duo 1.86 ghz

I have used this website: http://www.systemrequirementslab.com/referrer/srtest
which says that my computer can play Guild Wars (the original), but it cannot play Guild Wars Factions, it meets all the requirements except for Video HW Transform & Lighting, which apparently I don't have.
However, the intel website http://support.intel.com/support/gra.../CS-021400.htm shows a green circle next to both guild wars and factions. Anyone tried playing factions with a graphics card like mine?
In addition, do you think either guild wars game would run smoothly on my system (my internet connection is always pretty fast). And finally, has anyone experianced problems with windows vista and guild wars?

Thanks in advance!

You will be alright.

You will have to play with everything turned down though...20-30fps max

You need more RAM though, under full load vista will take up to 700MB of it..

All 3 GW games play fine on an intel GMA900 and even some older ones, so the answer is yes. Although adding more RAM would be a good idea.
