First off, let me ask to avoid flames on this issue. I have been gaming (mostly World of Warcraft) on a really bad computer for some time now (10gigs/300mb ram, etc).

I am getting a new computer that comes with the "Intel Extreme Graphics 2". I also will have an Nvidia GEForce 2 (64MB) at my disposal.

Using either of these, will "Guild Wars" even run? (I do meet the Hard Drive, RAM, etc specifications for the game).

I would assume not, but I know for a fact that World of Warcraft works on the on-board graphics card on my mom's ancient laptop, which is only 32MB. And the listed minimum (on the WoW box) is 64MB.

Long story short:

I don't care how crappy it looks, I'm fine with turning video settings all the way down. Will GUILD WARS work with either of these:

Intel Extreme Graphics 2
or
Nvidia GEForce 2 (64MB)


Please don't flame, or really even suggest I get a new video card, it's not an option Thanks in advance!

I just read this on another thread and it has me hopeful:

Since mine is the next step up from that (version 2)

Still, any comments/comfirmation would be great.

Hey also your Geforce 2 will run it real nice. I have one that runs off a PCI slot and tested it on an old computer just to see and it runs great. The computer I tried it on is a 866 P3 with only 192 MB of Ram, and it works just fine out of towns (in towns it's got a slight lag obviously the Ram though).
