    Hi,
    I wanted to know if I could run my copy of Guild Wars Nightfall on my Dell Inspiron laptop. I checked on 'Can You Run It' and everything checks out (CPU, Memory, HardDrive, ect...) but it said the graphics card isn't able to run it, but whats confusing me is the specs needed and the specs I have... everything that my card has is over the recommended. If so, why does it say its not able to run the game?

    Heres a snapshot: http://img14.imageshack.us/img14/7063/80861918.jpg

    It might not even start. If it does, it will run very, very slow.

    Ok, so I got bored of waiting, so I installed it just to see. IT WORKS!!! ^^ I do have to use custom settings for the smoothist gameplay I can get, but it still looks good and doesn't lag much at all =)

    Thanks anyways! =)
