My card is an Intel, but the first Battlefront, as well as KOTOR, Jedi Academy, and other such games all work on it. You think Battlefront II will? _________________ "It's not about the legacy you leave, it's about the life you live." ~Mara Jade Skywalker

Good luck getting a copy of the game! I was wondering If it was from memory, you'd get a stare from me that I get from others when I talk about Star Wars _________________ "Changes are nice--but so is continuity!"

If you can give a little more info on what type of Intel card you have it would help in determining whether it can work. I checked the back of the KOTOR and Battlefront I boxes for their specs and they require the Intel P3 1 GHz card whereas Battlefront II needs the Intel P4 1.5 GHz card. So basically it means Battlefront II upgraded from needing the Intel P3 to the P4 so its not a sure bet that Battlefront II can work on a computer that could run Battlefront I. Also I just looked through the specs on the boxes of my other Star Wars games that recently came out and it seems like Battlefront II is the only one that requires the Intel P4 1.5 GHz and all the others can work with the Intel P3 (though some recommend using the Intel P4).

I don't need to get those stares because people think I'm a crazy computer person too

My best friend the other day said, "Hey, you know what? I was talking to somebody about you the other day. They don't know much about you, but they said, 'Well I know she likes Star Wars.'" And she seemed to think that was really funny. I didn't mind too much, but everybody standing around proceeded to stare at me. *shrugs* Oh, well...what can you do? Thanks much for your help on all this. Let me check the specs on my card. Well, my system information says: Intel(R) Pentium(R) M Processor 1.73 GHz, 1.73GHZ, .99GB of RAM And then my card says all this stuff: Intel(R) Graphics Media Accelerator Driver for Mobile Report Report Date: 02/23/2008 Report Time[hr:mm:ss]: 10:04:26 Driver Version: 6.14.10.4764 Operating System: Windows XP* Home Edition, Service Pack 2 (5.1.2600) Default Language: English DirectX* Version: 9.0 Physical Memory: 1014 MB Minimum Graphics Memory: 8 MB Maximum Graphics Memory: 128 MB Graphics Memory in Use: 10 MB Processor: x86 family 6 Model 13 Stepping 8 Processor Speed: 1729 MHZ Vendor ID: 8086 Device ID: 2592 Device Revision: 04 * Accelerator Information * Accelerator in Use: Mobile Intel(R) 915GM/GMS,910GML Express Chipset Family Video BIOS: 1222 Current Graphics Mode: 1280 by 800 True Color (60 Hz) * Devices Connected to the Graphics Accelerator * Active Notebook Displays: 1 * Notebook * Monitor Name: Plug and Play Monitor Display Type: Digital Gamma Value: 2.20 DDC2 Protocol: Supported Maximum Image Size: Horizontal: Not Available Vertical: Not Available Monitor Supported Modes: 1280 by 800 (60 Hz) Display Power Management Support: Standby Mode: Not Supported Suspend Mode: Not Supported Active Off Mode: Not Supported _________________ "It's not about the legacy you leave, it's about the life you live." ~Mara Jade Skywalker

I looked up the chipset on the LucasArts support page and they did have a notice about there being potential problems with that chipset type, though they seemed to indicate that this would only be the case if you meet the minimum RAM requirements. Specifically the notice is for Intel 915 and 945G models of the intel Pentium M Processor. Edit: couldn't get the links to work but here's the the Intel page web info for what I believe is your chipset so you can check for updates: http://www.intel.com/products/chipsets/915GM/index.htm and if you go to http://yodashelpdesk.lucasarts.com/faq.asp?sid=142334080223024059106110&pid=1459&pnm=Star%20Wars%20Battlefront%20II&seid=3925&pos=Windows%20XP&top=Video&rid=22653 you should get the LA FAQ support page for your chipset Hope that helps as a starting point.

Checked out your link and it does look like my card should do okay. I certainly meet more than the minimum RAM requirements, so that's all great! Now I'm excited. _________________ "It's not about the legacy you leave, it's about the life you live." ~Mara Jade Skywalker
