I'm a computer novice. Well, less than a novice. I have an HP 600-1120 All-In-One CPU. Can I upgrade my graphics card to something that will allow me to play BG:EE? Here's a link to the specs: http://reviews.cnet.com/desktops/hp-touchsmart-600-1120/4507-3118_7-34101552.html
Expansion / Connectivity
Slots 1.0 (total) / 0.0 (free) x Processor - SO DIMM 204-pin,
2.0 (total) / 0.0 (free) x Memory,
2.0 (total) / 1.0 (free) x MXM,
1.0 PCI Express Mini Card
Interfaces 1.0 x Network - Infrared ( 2 front, 3 rear ),
1.0 x Audio - Output,
1.0 x Audio - SPDIF output,
5.0 x Hi-Speed USB - Line-in,
1.0 x Headphones - Ethernet 10Base-T/100Base-TX/1000Base-T,
1.0 x Audio - Line-out,
1.0 x Remote control
If I can't upgrade my graphics card to play, can anyone recommend a cheap laptop that will play this? Here's my original post in the Intel thread:
Well, unfortunately you can now add me to the list of people that can't play. I thought I had it fixed by changing it to Windows 95 compatibility with everything disabled. At least I could walk around without lag, although there was lag whenever things were moving (water, people, etc).
Sadly, after my first combat encounter with a few hobgoblins and casting entangle the game became unplayable. Almost to the point of freezing. I'm open to suggestions if anyone has figured out how to make this work. Here are my specs:
HP 600-1120 All-in-one CPU
Intel Core processor
4GB RAM
Windows 7 Home Premium
Intel HD Graphics driver 8.15.10.2226 (updated and said I have the latest)
I really want to play this, thought I was, now I'm not and I'm terribly frustrated.

Hopefully it should be fixed in upcoming patches. I wish you luck with it.
