I'm thinking about getting a new laptop, something cheap and relatively portable. I found one that I really like and the specifications are as follows:

-Pentium M Processor (1.86 GHz)
-1 GB Shared DDR2 SDRAM 2
-60 GB Hard Drive
-Integrated Intel® Graphics Media Accelerator 900

Now my question is: Would this setup be able to run Guild Wars at a playable level? It meets all of the minimum system requirements but I'm mainly concerned with how well it will run.

I realize there is a sticky about this but I just wanted to make sure that this specific setup would work before shelling out the cash.

Avoid integrated graphics for GW. It'll run, but it'll be somewhat slow and not very pretty.
Even a basic mobility x600 should do better.

yeah it'll run fine.. the newer intel integrated video drivers has issues with guildwars though- there's a sticky on it in this forum I think.. have to install a older version.. it'll error when you open up your inventory with the newer drivers
