Got a new laptop! in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

Well my 3 year-old Acer laptop is really starting to show it's age, I can't even play Gal Civ 2 on it because of its awful integrated Intel Extreme Graphics.

That computer should run the game fine, the memory can always be upgraded. That video chip is SM 3.0 compatible, it's just very much scaled down from the faster 6600's and 6800's.

Reply to Notebook graphics cards are scarce! in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

99% of laptops cannot have their graphics cards updated. IBM doesn't even make laptops anymore, they sold their laptop business to a company called Lenovo in 2004. Did you buy your laptop before or after Lenovo took over IBM's PC business?
