Unfortunately your Intel(R) 82865G Graphics Controller will not run Guild Wars as it was intended. Sorry! =( The card does not meet the minimum requirements. You will need to upgrade to at least ATIs Radeon 8500 or NVIDIAs GeForce 3 Series Video Card with 32 MB of VRAM. Please let me know if you have any further questions regarding this issue.

Need to know the rest of the system specs, but pulling out of my quiver that's an i865 chipset, which is P4 533/800 FSB processors, so you should have the system to run it, assuming you pair it with a better video card. Onboard graphics still haven't gotten where they need to be...

When i looked up the specs for the 82865G intel graphics card it said it had like 92 or 96 vram. more then system specs. but dell has to rip u off and give u a card with no features like pixel shading. I htink dell is a true rip off.

Not true. When I first got the game, I was running it off of an onboard 64MB Intel card. It lagged a bit, but overall it was quite adaquate. Then I upgraded to a Radeon 9200 and it is smooth now on 1024 x 768, everything high but AA and shadows.
