Quick Half life 2 question (video card)

I'm thinking of buying Half Life 2 to play on my laptop but am not sur
whether it will run well, or at all. The laptop has an internal Mobil
Intel (R) 4 Series Express Chipset Family. I'm not completely compute
illiterate but am far from an expert when it comes to graphics cards.

Here is more information:

Total available graphics memory: 1290 M
Dedicated Video Memory: 32 M
System Video Memory: 96 MB
Shared System Memory: 1162 M

The rest of the laptops specs are fairly comfortably above the minimu
requirements to play the game so it's the video card that worries me

Thanks for any comments

Its not 100%, but it should give you an idea

Thanks, stoneys-nutz. Well judging by that website the computer shoul
run the game ok. Everything passed the minimum test, and when I hi
recommended the only thing that didn't meet the requirements was th
video card. That will be a very useful website for future reference a
well. Thanks for your help
