RAM and Graphics Card would hold that one back - Intel GMA Media Accelorator is pretty far down the low end cards for laptops - I believe that particular one uses system RAM as shared video memory as well which degrades performance and available system memory.

Slower clock rate than even some other built in graphics so really not suited for games at all

This should be posted in the hardware forums but are you planning on getting a desktop or labtop?

*sigh* I want spore. I don't have internet so I can't even activate it if I get it. Would it work if I installed it on a laptop, took the laptop to a wi-fi place, activated it, transferred the save files onto a usb stick, put the usb in the pc, and tried to install the game on it using the memories of it being activated online recorded on the usb? If it does that would be awesome. But if it does'nt then I guess I'll have to wait like 5 months till I get high speed. ...help?? >-
