Age of empires 3 question

Hi,

I downloaded a Demo of Age of empires 3 a few weeks ago and it worked perfect the graphics were great and i realy like the game.
So im gonna go out and buy it, although when using a website that tells you if a certian game will work on your pc it scanned my computer to gain info on what specs my machine had and it said that my graphics card failed as you can see on the link below the analasis of my comp-

Im a bit confused because the Demo of Age of empires 3 worked perfect so will the full game?
Thanks

Looks like you have intergrated graphics, and you need to have hardware T&L, which it says it doesn't have. That's going to be a problem. Seems odd if the demo ran OK, and the full game won't. What did the demo requirements say? Maybe they bumped up the requirements.

Well if you look on the link again you will see it says
That it needs 64mb graphics and i do have 64 so do you think it will still run without the T&L as the graphics still looked pretty good when i played the demo version.

I'm not really sure. I had a card that didn't support HW T&L and it wouldn't run a game that requires it (MOHPA with an MX440).
