Will My Current PC be able to run The Game Crysis?

Question

Okay,
I am using a Brand New Dell XPS 210 running Vista.
So far, I am pretty sure that everything meets or surpasses the recommended system requirments (above the minimum) except for my graphics card.

I am using the Intel® Graphics Media Accelerator 3000

I've searched all over for information, but haven't returned succesfull. The PC game Crysis says it can run on 1-3 year old computers. The game has not been released yet, so no one can be completely sure.

The Minimum Requirments for Crysis say these graphics cards: Nvidia 6600 or ATI X1600 - Shader Model 2.0

I am not sure if these are stronger or weaker than the Media Accelerator 3000.
I know I have shader model 4

Some things seem to qualify and some do not, so I am wondering if somebody can clear things up.

thank you,
Solar

the Card does have DirectX 10 and I have a 2.13 ghz dual core....

Crysis is a Game Meant For Vista.

Answer 1

Vista is known to have performance problems with high level video games. It runs the games about half the speed of XP. In order to get the full essence of the game, you will need a DX10 video compatible card, although it is supposed to run on a DX9 cards. If you don't have a 3D current video card, you should be able to lower the resolution down a long way and still get it run.
