Will this run this game?

I thought I would post this. I just recently got a Dell Inspiron B120. I absolutely love it. It seems to be the perfect deal at 425$ shipped. I mainly got it for class, which I have to run VB.NET/Oracle/Access, which it does, flawlessly.


My question is. This laptop has 512mb DDR2 RaM, 1.4 GhZ Cel M, and GMA 900.

Will that setup play the game: The Movies?

The specs for The Movies(as found on there website) is:
System Requirements
- A version of Microsoft(R) Windows(R) 98SE/ME/2000/XP
- Pentium(R) III 800 MHz or Athlon(TM) 800MHz processor or higher
- 256MB RAM
- 8x Speed CD-ROM drive and latest drivers
- 2.4 GB of uncompressed free hard disk space (plus 500MB for Windows(R) swap file)
- 100% DirectX(R) 9.0c compatible 16-bit sound card and latest drivers
- DirectX(R) 9.0c (included)
- Updated Windows Media(R) Player 9 Codecs (included)
- 800 x 600 Monitor Resolution
- 3D Hardware Accelerator Card required - 100% DirectX(R) 9.0c compatible 32MB Hardware T&L-capable video card and latest drivers*

I thought I would ask some people on here. It does seem to have all the specs, but with the GMA I didnt know, so I thought I would post to get some ops. If it wouldnt play it I wouldnt be dissapointed cause I didnt b uy the laptop to play games. I usually just play XBOX. But this game caught my eye and I would like to grab it If my system will play it no probs. Thanks Any advice or info is greatly appreciated.

I'm 90% sure that your system would play it. The important spec is this one:

3D Hardware Accelerator Card required - 100% DirectX(R) 9.0c compatible 32MB Hardware T&L-capable video card and latest drivers

Your card is DX9 compatible, has 32 MB of shared memory, and is Hardware T&L capable, so it seems to me that you'd be able to run the game.
