You could but with a laptop that comes directly from a store you are kind of stuck with what you get. Seeing as though most laptops have their graphics cards sodered to the motherboard for some reason, it is kind of hard to update. For 60 USD I seriously doubt that. You would have to spend much more than that. As for it being able to handle OpenGL, my 3DS Max works fine with the card. So that statement is kind of false too. I meet over the minimum requirements except for the graphics card. I could play the old one on intel extreme graphics and I had it on the lowest settings. So there is something wrong witht that picture. It had shared memory and it worked most of the time. So saying that shared memory is the problem is kind of false and stupid when it comes to comparison. As for the graphics card being terrible, I do agree, but not all of us have a surplus of money in the back of our rooms to dish out on a graphics card. The old computer that I had was 2.5 GHZ with intel extreme graphics on 64 shared memory with 256 of RAM. If it could run the first one on low this computer should be able to run this game. As for research on a graphics card, you get what you pay for sometimes and other times you do not. There is not a point in researching when you have only a limited amount of time to make a purchase. So that statement must be if you are making your own computer. When dealing with a store they either have what you want or they do not. So the minimum requirements should run the game, and if they do not why bother to put them on there?

When you get a game that says you meet minimum requirements, you should be able to play at least with very little detail and on low settings. Apparently that is not true with KOTOR 2. I have an AMD Sempron 1.79 GHZ processor, 2 GB of RAM, Windws XP SP2, and an ATI Radeon Xpress 200M graphics card with shared memory in use that goes to the max. Well when I installed the product it said that the graphics card met minimum requirements. "That is ok," I thought, "so I will not be able to have high definition graphics. No big deal." Well wouldn't you know it, apparently you have to have the reccommended settings to even have the stupid thing play. I did update it think that because of the bugs maybe I was not able to play it. Well this turned out to be wrong. I was able to play the prequel before on a computer that was less upgraded and had Less RAM then this computer that I'm on does right now. Apparently these gaming companies really need to think twice before putting down minimum requirements because minimum requirements should at least allow for you to play the game and not have your character stand up on one foot and turn in circles. Thank you. Next time Company make sure that you know what to put down for minimum before you actually put it down on paper.
